Harmony Week (March 17 - 23) celebrates Australia's cultural diversity and promotes the values of inclusiveness, respect, and a sense of belonging for everyone. To mark the occasion this year, we honoured Nehad, a Delahey resident who comes from a Culturally and Linguistically Diverse (CALD) background and supports other residents to communicate whenever she notices a language barrier.
"We are a big family; I always invite other residents not to lock themselves in their units and to join the community room for activities. Don't let language be a barrier," said Nehad, who immigrated from Egypt in 2007.
Check out this interview with Nehad as she talks more in detail about how she has been supporting other residents.
