Oz Haat Charity Mela at the Australian High Commission
28 November 2015 - Come join us for a picnic on the lawns!
The Australian High Commission’s popular Oz Haat Charity Mela is on again!
Oz Haat this year will feature a wide range of fabulous locally made products for sale including hand painted ceramics, jewellery, textiles, fashion, toys, homewares, Christmas decorations and much more. All proceeds from the sales will go directly to the charities represented.
Plenty of fun activities have been organised for the kids and young at heart – magic shows, art & craft, glam photo-booth, drumming workshop, bouncing castle, balloon-seller and more. Gourmet snacks, a classic Aussie BBQ and bar with Australian wine will also be on offer.
“Oz Haat is an annual community-focused event that provides a great platform for NGOs in India to showcase and sell their innovative products. I am sure this year’s event will be bigger and better than ever before,” said Patrick Suckling, Australia’s High Commissioner to India.
Running since 2000, this year’s mela will see participation from 48 NGOs from across India. Most of these NGOs are actively working to support the cause of gender equality, women economic empowerment, disability, health and education for all.
Oz Haat is organised by the Australian High Commission as part of its Direct Aid Program, which provides development grants to NGOs across India. Entry is free and everyone is welcome.
Oz Haat will be held on Saturday, 28 November 2015 from 10am to 5pm on the lawns of the Australian High Commission. Entry is through Gate 5, 1/50G, Shantipath, Chanakyapuri, New Delhi. (Please bring a photo-ID card, Parking is available at Nehru Park, Ashoka Hotel or Malcha Marg)
