Tanima Banerjee

Mr MARK COURE (Oatley)

—Speaker, it always brings me great pleasure to share the work and achievements of locals like Tanima Banerjee, who was recently awarded the 2024 Southern Sydney Volunteer of the Year Award. Tanima is a Penshurst local and has an esteemed background in scientific research. She uses her talents towards generously volunteering for the Association for Asia-Pacific Countries, where she applies her skills in innovative ways to benefit the community. This award recognises the hard work of individuals who donate their time and talents tirelessly to support their communities. Having been instrumental in promoting heath and well-being by offering educational support, organising music fitness classes, providing language assistance, and fundraising for cancer research, Tanima is indeed a worthy recipient. I would like to congratulate Tanima on her award and thank her and all the other volunteers for the work that they do for the community. Without them and the generous contribution of their time and effort, our local communities would not be the same.
