Educate a Girl, Educate a Community – Refugee Week Fundraiser
On Tuesday 17th June, High School and Class 6 are organising a hot chocolate fundraiser in support of a campaign by Muzafar, a Hazara refugee, who is visiting the mountains to raise awareness around the importance of girls’ education in Afghanistan and other places. You can learn more about Muzafar here: Watch Watandar, My Countryman | Stream free on SBS On Demand
The hot chocolate and sweet treat stall will be held at morning tea. $3 for Hot choc or a treat, $5 for both.
We would also be very happy for donations of cakes and sweet treats for Tuesday. Please bring them to the kitchen.
We will also view the film, Staging Post which features Muzafar. While he was awaiting refugee status, he was also creating community and education in the midst of uncertainty and hardship for asylum seekers in Indonesia.
The Blue Mountains Refugee Support Group is hosting a fundraiser for Muzafar at the Mechanics Institute on Saturday evening: Ride for Education – 14 June at the Mechanics Institute, Lawson – BMRSG
