On the 2nd of August 2024, I was grateful to attend the weekly meeting of the Lao Community Advancement Co-op NSW Ltd. I would like to acknowledge the invaluable contributions that this organisation has made particularly for the Laos community within the Cabramatta Electorate. I would like to personally thank Mr Bountham Vongsaya, President of the Lao Community Advancement Co-op NSW for inviting me to visit his organisation and I will continue to collaborate with the Laos community to deliver positive outcomes for its members. I also had the opportunity to announce that the organisation was successful in the recent Community Building partnership application. The grant will go towards repairing the stormwater-damaged ceiling and installing an air conditioning system for the community hall. I am delighted that this organisation will continue to support its community members and promote positive outcomes where everyone regardless of their cultural heritage can feel at home in Cabramatta. I look towards attending more events in the future and engaging with various leaders and members of the Laos community to promote inclusion and diversity within the Cabramatta Electorate.
