Yasseen Musa is an Eritrean community leader, footy coach, and volunteers with Africause to help run the Flemington homework club. When the North Melbourne and Flemington public housing towers were placed in ‘hard lockdown’ in July, Yasseen was one of the first community leaders on the scene, helping to translate information for the residents and advocating for them to receive culturally appropriate services and meals. He made a huge difference to many residents in the towers during a very stressful time.
