(People with migrant backgrounds travel to regional areas of Australia for various reasons. Some go for employment, while some go for a permanent visa. They become so busy that it is difficult for them to form connections and meet others. This is especially true for young Nepali students who are stressed due to work, study, and visa worries. It's difficult to make time to connect with friends, even though this could reduce stress. However, during Nepali festivals, young Nepali Australians manage their time and try to have fun. They explore programs organised by various Nepali communities and clubs through social media. Recreational cultural programs become their means to reduce stress.
About the guest speaker
To keep youth and students mentally healthy, a group of Nepali youths in Tasmania has opened a music club and organises various cultural programs throughout Tasmania. Today's guest is Mr. Apar KC, a singer who works in the health sector. He is now known as a good artist among the Nepali community. The entertainment programs organised by his club are not only meant for fun but also helps to reduce stress amongst the young students.

차인호 씨는 사물놀이와 한국의 전통음악을 좋아합니다. 사물놀이는 호주에서 태어나고 자란 인호 씨를 한국의 문화와 연결해 주는 고리입니다. 지난 5월 인호 씨는 에벤에젤 선교센터에서 주최한 지역 축제에서 그동안 연습한 장구 솜씨를 뽐낼 기회를 얻었습니다. 축제에 참여하기 전에 특별한 프로젝트도 진행했다고 합니다. 지역 사업체들을 통해 수집한 플라스틱, 유리 병을 판매해 얻은 수익금으로 새로운 장구와 풍물복을 구입한 것입니다. 사물놀이 외에도 에벤센터에서 제공하는 많은 활동에 참여하는 인호 씨의 일상은 잠시도 지루할 틈이 없어 보입니다. 인호 씨의 이야기는 장애가 즐거운 일상의 걸림돌이 될 수 없다고 웅변합니다.
About the storyteller
장애를 가진 분들을 위한 흥미로운 활동을 제공하는 에벤 음악 선교센터를 처음 찾았을 때 인호 씨의 얼굴은 지금처럼 밝지 않았습니다. 하지만 에벤에서 새로운 사람을 만나고, 새로운 것을 배우며 보낸 지난 3년 사이 인호 씨의 얼굴에 웃음이 많아졌습니다. 호주에서 태어났지만 한국의 문화와 전통음악에 관심이 있는 인호 씨는 한인 풍물패의 도움으로 사물놀이를 배우고 있습니다. 인호 씨의 능숙한 장구 연주는 장애와 한계를 연결짓는 편견을 향한 힘찬 울림입니다.
(Mr In-ho Cha loves Samulnori (genre of percussion music that originated in Korea) and traditional music. Samulnori helps connect him to his cultural roots. In May this year, Mr Cha got a chance to showcase his Janggu (traditional drum) performance at a local festival hosted by the Ebenezer Mission Centre. Before the festival, he carried out a special project – buying new Janggu and clothes by selling plastic and glass bottles collected with the support of local businesses. In addition to Samulnori, Mr Cha also participates in other activities provided by the Eben, leaving him no time to become bored! His story demonstrates that disability should not be a stumbling block to living well.
About the storyteller
When Mr Inho Cha first visited the Ebenezer Music Centre, which provides interesting activities for people with disabilities, his face was not as bright as it is now. Meeting new people and learning new things at Eben over the last three years has given him a more frequent reason to smile. Mr Cha was born in Australia yet his interest in Korean culture and traditional music led him to the journey of learning Samulnori, a traditional percussion ensemble, with the support of a traditional Korean band in the community. Mr Cha’s skilful performance creates a powerful response in challenging the prejudice associated with his disability.
