Non Resident Nepalese Association

Mr MARK COURE (Oatley)

—Today I acknowledge a number of members of the Non Resident Nepalese Association who have done an outstanding job supporting local residents throughout the pandemic. I would like to make a special mention of Deb Gurung, Toran Awasthi, Anju Shah, Roshani Shrestha and Tirtha Raj Karki. These individuals have continued to support the local community with countless hours of emotional and mental health support throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. It is for these reasons that these individuals were awarded with Individual Achievement Awards as part of the 2020 St George Community Awards. This is the 10th Anniversary of these Awards and they honour some of the many men and women who go above and beyond each and every day to make our community even better. The entire organisation is made up of selfless and committed volunteers and I am so proud to recognise their achievements and honour their continued service here today. I wish everyone at the Non Resident Nepalese Association all the best for the remainder of 2021 and beyond.
