Gratitude in Action: Honouring Our Community Champions

🌟 Hindu Education and Cultural Centre (HEACC) & HCA Thanking Event with Hon. Jason Clare and Dr. Andrew Charlton 🌟

 The Hindu Council of Australia (HCA), together with the Hindu Education and Cultural Centre (HEACC), recently hosted a special thank-you event with the Hon. Jason Clare MP, Minister for Education, and Dr. Andrew Charlton MP, Member for Parramatta.

The event was organised to express our gratitude for their support in approving grants for Karma Kitchen and the Hindu School, and to update them on progress and share the designs for the upcoming property developments.

We were honoured to welcome:

  • His Excellency Shri Gopal Baglay, Indian High Commissioner to Australia

  • Dr. S. Janakiraman, Consul General of India, Sydney

  • Cr. Sameer Pandey, Parramatta

  • Murray Norman, CEO of Faith Affairs Council NSW

  • Many community members

A special thank you to Dr. Andrew Charlton for being a true champion of the Hindu community, for recognising Hindu Heritage Month in October, fighting Hinduphobia, and advocating for Deepavali as a national holiday.

We also extend our heartfelt thanks to Hon. Jason Clare for his unwavering commitment to the Hindu School and his determination to see this important initiative come to fruition.

Finally, a heartfelt thank you to Murray Norman, CEO, Faith Affairs Council, for his always generous and unsolicited support, which continues to strengthen our community initiatives.

Their support strengthens our community and helps preserve and celebrate our rich cultural heritage. 🙏
