Path-builder our Citizen of the Year | Dandenong Star Journal

By Danielle Kutchel
A tireless champion for African and CALD communities has been named Greater Dandenong’s Citizen of the Year.
Selba Luka, founder of Afri-Aus Care, received the award at an invite-only event at Springvale City Hall on Tuesday 26 January.
She admitted the award was a total shock, but a welcome one, and dedicated it to the community, staff, volunteers, supporters and sponsors of Afri-Aus Care.
Born in Malawi, Ms Luka often says her heart is in South Sudan as she works closely with the south-eastern South Sudanese community.
Afri-Aus Care was born of her experiences when she arrived in Australia, where she experienced difficulties and hardship in her first years in the country.
