Queensland Tibetan Community president and general secretary meets local Brisbane councillor Vicky Howard

The Queensland Tibetan Community leadership met with Brisbane Central ward councillor Vicky Howard, who is serving her second term following electoral victory March this year. The exuberant leader was earlier congratulated via email by the community general secretary soon after her resumption of power at the city council.

The community leadership discussed upcoming community and cultural activities with the councillor and sought assistance in the provisions for the cultural and educational development. Currently, there are approximately 154 Tibetans in the state with majority of them being member to the community. Some members live as far as Sunshine Coast and Gold Coast, while most of the Tibetans are concentrated around Brisbane with majority being residents of New Farm.

The local councillor has been in constant support of the community since the last year meeting with the community leadership. Though a lot of funds got reduced due to Wuhan originated COVID 19, the councillor still is doing everything she can to assist the community’s needs and requirements for its cultural development. The Tibetan Community of Queensland is incorporated as a community organisation in 2006 and is registered under Associations Incorporation Act 1981. The community undertakes numerous cultural, educational and social activities amongst the Tibetans and attempts to preserve their cultural and social identity.

In her meditative posture  If you are thinking what is the relationship between a 'nurse profession' and 'Tibetan Buddhist teaching', here is a short trip into it.  When you face an uphill task challenge, either you take it or give it up. However, Sydney based Tibetan young nurse opted to take the challenge.  The Tibetan lass shares her experience in the wake of COVID-19 pandemic that had nurses around the world at the forefront of the duty.
