Sant Nirankari Mission, Brisbane got involved with Brisbane Flood Relief Volunteer Camp to participate in Clean Up Australia on 25th, 26th and 28th January and 2nd February 2011. Brisbane has faced this natural calamity after 1974 and Committee Member Rev. Vijay Arora and Rev. Paramjit Singh coordinated the Sewa with Brisbane City Council and divided the devotees into teams.

About 25 devotees of the Mission participated in this cleanup drive. All participants were briefed about safety measures and provided with rubbish bags, gloves, sunscreen, water and other protective gears.  Devotees took about three to five hours every day to complete the project. After completing the Sewa every day, the devotees expressed their thanks to Almighty Nirankar and His Holiness. Saints who could not physically take up the road cleanup due to health or other reasons encouraged the other participating saints and engaged in serving them with breakfast, tea, water and other condiments.

The Mukhi of SNM, Brisbane, Rev Mithu Ji, blessed the devotees with certificates after the Sewa and commended their selfless efforts. He further prayed to His Holiness that such divine thoughts of devotees be strengthened and they continue to participate in service of the community. It was a clear demonstration of an extraordinary spirit in taking action to help communities and the environment. Brisbane Council also expressed their thanks for the efforts made by SNM Brisbane volunteers who proved their selfless service by participating in this community cleaning drive.
