How does multiculturalism on this scale work in reality for you?
How do you live ‘your’ culture in Australia?
Does the community you live in accept you and your cultural practices?
How do you integrate into Australian culture?
What is Australian culture?
What are the challenges of living with two cultures?
Are you seen as an individual or as a member of an ethnic community?
Does anyone recognise the contribution you make to this country?
What is that contribution?
What are your aspirations and how are they being met?

The project is fairly well advanced with business plans, fundraising, etc and a lot of the service are being provided already; what is lacking is a place where the activities may occur, a place that individuals may identify with and develop a sense of belonging and community. The centre aims not simply to help the Tibetan community but the general community as well via meditation, social work, counselling, and support in general.

We are wondering who do we approach first for government funding, where are the forms, and what level of assistance is out there? Do we approach Housing NSW or the local councils or the Commonwealth Govt?

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

i am a Community Development Officer in the UK and am finding it difficult to engage with 18-24 year old youths. we are running a few employment projects but are not having a good response! i am looking for some innovative ideas from across the world. if anyone has done something that has worked, can you let me know on paul.johnson@boltonathome.org.uk all ideas welcome!

many thanx

i am from the UK and i have found that a community garden works very well! i work for a Housing Association and we have given land that is not being used to some of the local community groups and they have converted them into food growing areas. The groups have raised funding towards the garden and we have also part funded the projects. it does seem to bring a community together and help towards sustaining that community! they can be both fun and educational for kids and some of the beds have been allocated to local schools and childrens centers - we even have the local Wildlife Trust on board so they can deliver training to the local population.

hope it is going well!

Out here where we are located there are many companies who would likwe to sponsor a Community Radio station like ours and others out here,BUT with us having been in drought,it seems that our metro cousins just dont really care or worry about it.
I have contacted and as has our Publicity Officer contacted many BIG companies,BUT as they are in Metro areas,they dont consider us to be able to cover their products,well how wrong they are.
Our Volunteer Community radio Station gets alot of web viewing and its only in the past 6 months that we have gone futher afield,BUT again our Metro cousins dont care.
In New South Wales NSW stands for Newcastle Sydney Woolongong and if one goes over the Blue Mounts then who cares.We have to fight for what we want and need.
Also basically we are now living within our means and all that is required for us to be a self relaint force is for us to be able to get a grant to be able to get some solar power and also a relaible news bulletin relayed to us,BUT they cost money,which we dont have.

What languages do you need translating from and to?
Are you looking for a free or paid service?
There are translation services such as Elanex at [www.elanex.com]
Elanex normally have a quick turnaround, so I would ask them to quote to supply translations a week before the deadline so you have time to check the result.

Other options you could try are [www.freelancer.com] or [www.whirlpool.net.au]. You haven't mentioned whether you are asking for help free of charge or for payment?

Another option I have seen work well is to contact your local university or graphic design college. You could pop an ad on their notice board.

There are many web developers looking for work, so I'm sure if you clarify the above question people will forward your request to friends and colleagues.
