25.01.2022 SECOND SPEAKER: Burhan Zangana fled war torn Iraq in 1993 following the Gulf War and the brutal crushing of the Kurdish uprising. Coming from a Kurdish minority, Burhan became a freedom fighter when he was in Year 9 resisting the Iraqi armed forces under Sadam Hussein. During this time, he saw many of his friends imprisoned or sentenced to death by the Iraqi authorities. With resilience, tenacity and hard work Burhan has obtained a Bachelor degree in Electrical Engineering fr...om University of Technology Baghdad-Iraq, a Graduate diploma in Engineering from University of Sydney Australia 2009, and a Diploma of Community Services from TAFE, NSW. He is currently working three jobs: Education Support Officer at TAFE NSW, Wollongong campus; Student Learning Support Officer at Wollongong West Public School; and Language Support Worker at Wollongong City Council. He is a member of many committees including Justice Multicultural Advisory Council, Illawarra People for Peace, Illawarra Muslim Aid, Wollongong Islamic Society, and is involved in advocacy work with the Refugee Council of Australia initiative Refugee Communities Advocacy Network (RCAN). Burhan was the winner of the Humanitarian Award by Refugee Council of Australia and STARTTS and was even recognised by the Premier at the Premiers Volunteer Recognition Program Award.

25.01.2022 A heartfelt plea for us to step back and reconsider as a nation who we are and what we stand for. We stand for compassion, justice and equal opportunities for all! The disparity in cultural understanding, authentic representation and inclusiveness, drives us at CultureVision to do our best to allow everyone the opportunity to thrive. #RefugeeEnterprise #Hakeem #CraigFoster
24.01.2022 Yesterday, Our CEO gave a lecture at the Australian College of Applied Psychology on Public and Refugee Rights Advocacy and he was asked what he was doing to help bring Hakeem home. So we all promised to post on social media to do our little bit in raising awareness. Its so pleasing to see that the advocacy everyone has done that is finally bringing him home. This is a testament to have faith in the power of people. https://www.facebook.com/72924719987/posts/10159449237959988?sfns=mo #SaveHakeem #WelcomeHomeHakeem #PublicAdvocacy #RefugeeRights
