Over the past months, we have all watched the media coverage of the ongoing war in Ukraine. The United Nations estimates that since the Russian invasion on February 24, over 5.2 million Ukrainians have been forced to flee their homeland. A majority of these refugees are women and children who have not only witnessed their schools and hospitals being destroyed, but also have endured the loss of their homes and, more tragically, their loved ones. Many of our volunteers and supporters in AHHA have roots in Vietnam, a country that has suffered from scourges of war. We understand firsthand the hardships refugees endure. Moved by their plight and aligned with our mission to support vulnerable communities worldwide, AHHA has successfully launched a fundraising appeal for Ukrainian refugees. AHHA is committed to ensuring that your generous donations go directly to where they are needed most. To this end, all funds raised were donated to UNICEF to provide urgent humanitarian and medical aid to Ukrainian child refugees. We are thrilled to report that a total of $24,000 was donated to this cause, demonstrating the collective strength and generosity of our AHHA community. Every single donation brings relief to suffering Ukrainian children, providing them with comfort in these challenging times. Our heartfelt thanks goes out to Dr Stefanescu for his extraordinary generosity and to all our generous donors. Your support reinforces our belief that together, we can make a positive impact, transcending geographical borders, and providing aid to those who need it most. On behalf of AHHA management, thank you for standing with us as we stand with Ukraine.

This projec The torrential rains that plagued NSW and southeast QLD over this ti have caused severe flooding, resulting in immense human and environmental damage. The emotional toll of these floods has been ensures we felt by thousands of Australians, as families were seen fleeing the disaster with their children and pets, seeking refuge on rooftops or trapped in their homes. Farmers, too, have suffered greatly, with their livestock swept away and machinery destroyed by the raging waters. Regarded as one of Australia's worst flood disasters in decades, these floods have caused the separation of families, loss of lives, endangerment of wildlife, and extensive damage to vital infrastructure, properties, and businesses.
