St Austin's House Charity Week
In support of National Refugee week (19 – 25 June), St Austin’s House, who support the Australian Catholic Migrant and Refugee Office as our House Charity, gathered to express support and solidary for refugees and people seeking asylum.
|
The House Leaders wanted to focus on raising awareness about the plight of refugees, as much as raising money for the charity. Leaders ran a variety of fundraising and awareness activities across campuses, including dodgeball, a barbeque and Detention4Detention, where the leaders placed themselves in detention to symbolically recognise the injustices faced by people caught up in Australia’s immigration detention system.
|
We want to thank everyone who supported our charity and hope you learnt a little more about refugees and asylum seekers in Australia.
