MMC: A Brief Introduction
For over three decades, ManawatΕ« Multicultural Council (MMC) has stood as a beacon of inclusivity, unity, and cultural celebration in Palmerston North and ManawatΕ« areas. Nestled within the heart of our vibrant community, we have been privileged to serve as a home away from home for individuals from diverse backgrounds, proudly embracing the rich tapestry of cultures that define us.
MMC remains steadfast in our commitment to fostering understanding, respect, and harmony among all members of our community. Our centre has served as a gathering place where traditions are honored, languages are spoken, and friendships are forged across cultural boundaries.
Join us for the Iranian Potluck Dinner!
