From service to honour: Farooq Adam's journey to the Order of Australia Medal
SBS Urdu 09/06/2025 05:58 Muhammad Farooq Adam, currently based in Queensland, has long been dedicated to promoting intercultural harmony, the Urdu language, and community service in Australia. His journey in community work began in the 1990s after migrating to Australia, where he committed himself to voluntary service. His efforts have included engaging youth, organising cultural events, and building bridges among diverse communities. Farouk Adam has achieved various community awards (Supplied). He believes that greater attention must be given to challenges faced by migrants in Australia, such as language barriers, identity, and inclusion. For him, volunteerism is a cornerstone of community development, and involving the younger generation is crucial. In his view, this award is not only an honour but also a beacon of inspiration for the next generation. Receiving the Medal of the Order of Australia was a proud moment not just for him but for the entire migrant community. The honour is a recognition of his unwavering commitment to strengthening Australia's multicultural identity. Farooq Adam has previously received various community awards, but this national recognition stands as a milestone in his public service. ___________ Listen Wednesday or Friday program at this link.
