The Chaldean Community Foundation (CCF) is honoring Hungary Helps as its 2025 Humanitarian of the Year, recognizing Hungary’s extraordinary role in supporting persecuted Christians in Iraq. Through its Hungary Helps Program (HHP), the Hungarian government has become the world’s leading state-level advocate for Christian minorities, providing more aid to Christians in Iraq than any other nation.

Many people associate October with classic fall traditions such as visiting pumpkin patches, picking apples, enjoying cider and donuts, or preparing for Halloween. These American family customs trace back more than 200 years, with roots in Scottish and Irish immigrant culture.

October is recognized as Fire Prevention Month to raise awareness about fire safety and to promote practices that prevent fires. The observance dates back to 1922 when the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) established the first Fire Prevention Week to commemorate the anniversary of the Great Chicago Fire of 1871 that began on October 8.

Two Chaldean businessmen were honored by the state earlier this year for their transformation of a historic downtown Clarkston grocery store into a fine dining establishment. Robert Esshaki and Christopher Thomas received a Building Award from the Michigan Historic Preservation Network for their renovation of a more-than-century-old building at 9 Main Street that’s now Rudy’s Prime Steakhouse, which opened in October 2024.

Every business begins with a story. Sometimes it grows out of passion, sometimes it comes from necessity, and often it is rooted in values instilled long before the first customer arrives. In the Chaldean community, entrepreneurship has always been more than a career choice. It is a way of life, a tradition carried forward by families who relied on resilience, faith, and an unwavering belief in hard work.

Nestled in Detroit’s historic Corktown neighborhood, Kintsugi Village is more than just a school—it’s a living, breathing ecosystem built on the idea that education should nourish the whole child.
