Lunch with Leaders: Harmony Week 2023
21 March 2023 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm
Join Auspire this Harmony Week to hear from Australia’s Local Hero and Turbans 4 Australia founder, Amar Singh, on changing perceptions and helping others no matter religion, language or cultural background.
Amar founded his charity, Turbans 4 Australia, in 2015 after experiencing racial slurs and insults because of his Sikh turban and beard. He wanted to show people they didn’t need to be afraid and began helping struggling Australians.
Turbans 4 Australia raises awareness and funds for important causes while promoting multiculturalism and religious tolerance. But the organisation is best known around Australia for transporting emergency goods to those in need. Every week, Turbans 4 Australia package and distribute up to 450 food and grocery hampers to people experiencing food insecurity in Western Sydney.
Turbans 4 Australia has delivered hay to farmers experiencing drought; supplies to flood victims in Lismore and bushfire-impacted people on the South Coast; food hampers to the isolated and vulnerable during COVID-19 lockdowns; and supplies to the Salvation Army in central Queensland in the devastating wake of Cyclone Marcia.
Join us for lunch online to celebrate Harmony Week and the benefits of having a multicultural Australia where Everyone Belongs.
This event is supported by Chevron Australia, National Diversity and Inclusion Partner of the Australian of the Year Awards.
