The Hindu Council of New Zealand’s fourth New Zealand Hindu Conference has the theme “Serving Community – Serving New Zealand”. It is being held in Auckland on May 12 and 13.
The goal of this conference is to provide a platform and to bring together all Hindu volunteers, organizations and temples that are currently, capably contributing to the society, and to showcase their contribution to New Zealand, according to the council’s news release.
“Seva” (selflessly serving those in need) is a core value that underpins Hindu Dharma, and “Daan” (charity) is a component of Seva. Such selfless efforts by volunteers and philanthropists are not usually publicised. The Fourth National Hindu conference will provide the forum to bring forth their activities and the outcomes of those activities to the community and their motivation and commitment to volunteering, to the wider public, says the release.
The conference will include discussions on Hindu community’s contribution in serving New Zealand community through the education sector, media, health services, social and community services, and youth development. Youth will illustrate their contribution to community service.
This conference will be of interest to members of the general public who are keen to learn about community service projects, and to volunteers interested in various models of volunteer as well as community development. It will also be of interest to community development practitioners, to academics who may wish to observe or work with specific communities and to students and individuals who may be keen to explore opportunities for volunteering.
Organisations, temples, associations and individuals are invited to send their interest in presenting the impact and outcomes of their services at the conference. For participation in the conference either as a group or as an individual please contact Pritika Sharma on 02107 24051 or e-mail: hinduconference@gmail.com
