Wyndham City is proud to announce Anamika Pushilal as the One Wyndham recipient for March.
Anamika is a passionate advocate for climate change and participates in tree planting for Reconciliation Week and National Tree Day.
Anamika also helps out at Love our Street 3030, to keep litter off the streets, parks and natural spaces and to contribute to creating a sustainable future for our planet.
Previously, part of Wyndham City’s former Climate Futures program, Anamika organised clothing swaps to reduce textile waste, encourage sustainability and highlight that fast fashion is wasteful and contributing to landfill and omissions.
A proud champion of diversity and inclusion, Anamika encourages young people to express themselves and feel comfortable with themselves.
Anamika volunteers at the Breakfast Club at their high school twice a week as well as raising funds for many community organisations including Red Cross, Women of Colour, Wear it Purple, MND and Minus18.
Wyndham City Mayor, Cr Mia Shaw said: “Anamika is a passionate young role model and contributes meaningfully to the community through volunteering.”
“Wyndham City appreciates Anamika’s commitment to the community that helps make Wyndham a better place.”
One Wyndham recipients are residents aged between 12 to 25 who positively contribute to the Wyndham community and are role models to other young people.
Each month Council selects a Wyndham resident to be awarded the ‘Young Person of the Month’.
Winners are awarded a $300 gift voucher of their choice and other prizes.
