Mid North Coast Refugee Support Group
World Refugee Day 2014
In 2014,
Refugee Week was held across Australia from June 15-21. The theme was
"Restoring Hope".
On Saturday
June 21, MNC Refugee Support Group hosted a public event at midday on Port
Macquarie's Town Green to mark World Refugee Day - a day that aims to raise
awareness about the issues affecting refugees and to celebrate the positive
contributions made by refugees.
Guest
speaker was Greens MLC, Dr Mehreen Faruqi, who migrated from Pakistan to
Australia in 1992 with her young family.
She is a
passionate activist on a range of issues, and has worked as a volunteer and
campaigner. See more at: www.mehreenfaruqi.org.au.
