The Russian Community in New Zealand warmly welcomed the President of SLNZ Helpline and its members, celebrating the strong bonds of friendship and multicultural unity that enrich our society.

We are also honoured that RUSNEWSNZ has published a feature story highlighting an inspiring journey from being an international student to becoming a community leader in New Zealand. The article reflects how former international students are now making meaningful contributions and leading communities across many countries.

A heartfelt thank you to the Russian community and RUSNEWSNZ for recognising the value of cultural diversity, community service, and international friendship.

Together, we continue to build stronger, more connected communities for future generations.

On behalf of the Secretary of SLNZ Helpline
