Movie Night 2007
Timpir's third major film event was held in August 2007, showing the recent Oscar award winning film, 'The Last King of Scotland' as well as a brief DVD detailing the implementation of Timpir's projects in South Sudan.
UniSA 2006 International Night
October 2006 saw Timpir take part in the UniSA Health Students International Night. This was the first time that there had been African representation at the event and we were warmly received by the 400 guests that took part in the event. We cooked up a storm with Lagemat (Sudanese style donuts) and many people tried their first ever taste of African food.
Sarafina! film event
Timpir's second movie event took place in July 2006. This time we started with a brief UN directed documentary about the return of South Sudanese refugees from Khartoum to South Sudan which served to educate our attendees. We followed with the enlightening movie 'Sarafina!' — a musical that dealt with issues of apartheid in South Africa.
African Music and Food Celebration
The Timpir African Music and Food Celebration took place in September 2005. This was an exciting blend of Sudanese talent in both cuisine and music. People who attended came away with full tummies and smiles on their faces from the music and dancing. The Celebration was a worthwhile event as it involved members of the local South Sudanese community and even featured two of our Board Members in the acts! Guests were taught how to dance “Sudanese style” by Timpir's Project Director, William Baak, and in no time the whole crowd was on its feet.
Multicultural Rugby Day
Timpir was present at the very successful multicultural rugby day at Woodville Rugby Club, which was organised by the New Arrivals Outreach Project. Timpir again held a very prosperous raffle and the day was a great success with rugby coaching, various games, clowns and other entertainment for the kids.
Hotel Rwanda film event
Timpir's first major fundraising event was the 'Hotel Rwanda' movie night in June 2005. The turnout was fantastic, the movie was relevant and the enthusiasm was inspiring. The movie night also included food and drinks, so people were able to mingle and chat about Timpir's cause, aims and objectives. A very successful raffle was carried out, with members returning satisfied with great prizes donated by many Timpir supporters.
African Festival 05
The South Australian African Festival in April of 2005 saw the launch of Timpir to the public. This was a busy day with over one hundred flyers explaining the situation in South Sudan being distributed to visitors.
