Migrant Resource Centre
Attended by Sandra Reeve (DTA Tasmanian Representative)
On Wednesday, 19 March 2014 the Governor of Tasmania, the Honourable Mr Peter Underwood and Mrs Underwood hosted a reception at Government House to celebrate the Centre’s achievements over the last 35 years.
It was fitting that the MRC was acknowledged and congratulated for their work during the week of Harmony Day, 21st March. Guests at the event were all linked to the MRC in one capacity or another: a founding member; a client; community member; staff; volunteer; peak body; service partner; employer; funding body; politician and so many more. The Burmese-Karen choir entertained guests at the event singing two hymns from their repertoire. (Source: April MRC Newsletter)

MRC are also on Facebook, so you might like to head over and like their page or visit www.mrchobart.org.au for more information about their projects, resources and services. DTA also provides an update about its activities in the CALD Project Newsletter which can be located in the Aged Care tab of the MRC website.
