Passengers gathered at Eden Community Church's cultural night on Saturday.
This year’s celebration theme was “A Night Around the World”. It was also a fundraiser for the Cooper family, who are heading to the Middle East.
“The idea was to replicate an actual flight and provide guests with a passport and dinner tokens once on board," said Meg Imai.
John Stephenson said, "The smiles gave testimony to a brilliant evening of culture and diversity." One musical performer said he was “blown away by how appreciative and happy the audience was."
Onboard, approximately 150 passengers were treated to Bollywood dancing, performances by Japanese taiko drummers, and Chinese fan dancers—to name just a few acts.
One of the elders, Pauliasi Valili said, "It was an amazing time. A couple of cultures were new to me." Another leader shared: "It was great to see so many people from the wider community, drawn in by the excitement and diversity."
