Today marks the twelfth anniversary of the opening of the Mandi Genzvra Dakhil  , which took place on July 22, 2012. This building was completed thanks to the hard work of volunteers and generous donations. It is significant as the first approved project of its kind in diaspora communities, offering substantial capacity and hosting two important functions: the Mandi and the Sabian-Mandaean Association headquarters in Australia. Construction, under the Mandaean Council in Liverpool or the Mandaean Resource Center, lasted a year and a half.   For twelve years, this center has served the Mandaean community, hosting religious ceremonies, including the Council for Mercy for the Deceased, and celebrations for important Mandaean occasions. The Mandi administration also coordinates with the sect’s cemetery and collects donations for needy families. Additionally, the Sabian-Mandaean Association in Australia organizes various social activities through its committees, such as the Women’s and Children’s Committee, the Youth Committee, the Social Committee, and the Immigration Committee. They also host seminars, cultural lectures, and festivals.   I express my gratitude to everyone who contributed through volunteering and financial donations, and to the supportive Arab community in Sydney.

Happy Karsa Happy Mandaean New Year!
