The Asian Network Inc. (TANI) was proud to attend the Auckland Emergency Management Community CDEM Forum 2026 at the Due Drop Events Centre on 23rd May, represented by our CEO Vishal Rishi, Social Work Practice Manager Astha Machra, and Communications Coordinator Ekta Kumar.

As a panellist in the discussion "Auckland’s Diversity is a Strength", Vishal shared insights on the important role that ethnic communities, cultural networks, and grassroots organisations play in strengthening emergency preparedness and community resilience.

The forum provided a valuable opportunity to connect with community leaders, emergency management professionals, and organisations committed to building a safer and more inclusive Auckland.

((TANI Hamilton)) The Asian Network Inc. (TANI) Hamilton was honoured to be part of the renowned Matariki ki Waikato Festival, joining the Dawn Ceremony at Hamilton Gardens to celebrate the Māori New Year.

Matariki is a time for remembrance, reflection, renewal, and connection. As migrants and members of Aotearoa New Zealand’s diverse communities, it is important for us to build meaningful relationships with tangata whenua and to understand and embrace the bicultural foundations of our nation.

We believe that a strong bicultural foundation supports a thriving multicultural society, where all cultures are respected, valued, and celebrated.

TANI is committed to strengthening relationships with tangata whenua and working together to build inclusive, connected, and healthy communities for all.

Mānawatia a Matariki! ✨🌟
