This week, our Chinese speaking team members joined our newly formed Chinese-speaking social group for a dumpling-making session. This initiative was led by one of our social work students from Western Sydney University, whose placement project has brought together women who may have felt isolated due to language barriers and helped them feel part of the WHC community.
