🌟 And just like the good old tradition, we recently wrapped up our EOY event, celebrating 2024 with the people we love! We had trivia, live performances, pizza (because you can never have too much pizza!), Christmas music, you name it. But most importantly, together with friends and community members, we reflected on this year with gratitude. It has been a special year, having been able to take on so many meaningful projects and meet incredible people. Nothing feels more special than seeing our work make a positive impact, no matter how small. A heartfelt thank you to everyone who joined us for this event and to all of you for making this year so worthwhile. Here’s to continuing the journey in 2025!

Things are slowly winding down as we’re nearing the end of 2024 but the team is out and about in the community, attending events and supporting some important initiatives. Thank you to Community Response Australia Inc for a fantastic day of networking, food and celebration! Congratulations on your 3rd anniversary and we’re looking forward to more collaboration in 2025! Thank you Sukhvinder (Sunny) Duggal and Anju Duggal for having us!

🍕 Pizza, presents and friendships - what's there not to love? Our team had a little bonding time over scrumptious pizza to express gratitude and reflect on 2024. Then our founder Eva surprised us all with her little gifts (can you spot those shiny crowns on everyone’s heads? 👑) Even better, our celebration went global with our international team joining online. Here's to another year of meaningful connections, inspirations....and more pizza!

Our Marketing and Communications Coordinator Eleanor found herself in the city central last Friday to attend the EOY event hosted by the Australia-China Young Professionals Initiative (ACYPI) 澳中青年领袖联合会 It was great connecting with ACPI’s president Judy Gao I SComms and hearing from the esteemed keynote speakers Tom Parker 裴仁杰 and Choiphy Zhao who have done important work in cementing Australia-China relationship. Eleanor also enjoyed meeting many young professionals from various industries and sharing the same ambitions and energy for their professional work. Congratulations ACYPI for a successful event. We look forward to following your work!
