So I'm being resident of Melton for last five years and I'm a software engineer by my profession. Feeling at home for me means where my culture and is respected, where I can feel safe, where I get a sense of belonging living with the diverse community where I can build the cultural communication and the connection with other community where I also get an opportunity to bring in inclusivity and understand other cultures and stay together along with them.

The City of Melton gives me a feeling of home basically you know, it where it it has given me an infrastructure to build a community a guidance a leadership program and Melton City Council has supported us to grow to 25 families they gave us an infrastructure support they gave us a free training and the free guidance for us to community as to grow and to celebrate our culture where we can feel safe and we bring in that sense of belonging amongst the community.

And then we did a community Chinese partnership program where we could do an cultural exchange program, connect with each other so that's how I have contributed to the Melton council.
