Teej celebrations

Samantha RATNAM (Northern Metropolitan) (13:44): I would also like to wish the community happy Teej. Thank you to the Australian Nepalese Multicultural Centre for hosting a wonderful celebration of the Teej festival, which honours the service and sacrifice of women. The ANMC was bursting with joy. I am so proud to represent the region that was one of the first communities that the Nepalese community settled into when they arrived. We are so lucky to have the generosity, determination and excellence of the Nepalese community as part of our community. Thank you to Matiu for sharing this brilliant reflection of that event: embracing culture is our shield; celebrating it, our rebellion.
