On 12 April 2023 I had the honour of attending a very special celebration hosted by the Assyrian Democratic Movement [ADM]. It was celebrating its forty-fourth anniversary since its foundation and welcoming in the 6,773rd Assyrian New Year. It was a fitting tribute to see Mr Hurmez Odisho, a special ADM guest from Iraq, as well as numerous community and cultural leaders and association representatives from throughout our local community attending. They were present to acknowledge and commend the ADM on its continued efforts and dedication towards supporting and caring for the Assyrian people and our broader community. In turn, it was fantastic to see the ADM present many awards to the various cultural and community leaders in recognition of their own efforts and for selflessly giving so much to the community over the years. I congratulate the ADM Australian chapter; its president, Immanuel Sada; its vice-president, George Adam; and the volunteers for hosting another successful function.
