There will be a quirky, second-hand market at Wauchope Arts Hall from 3-5pm, featuring preloved items, afternoon tea, a short film about refugees and live music. Anyone can donate items in good condition, or come along to support the fundraiser.
Afterwards a shared meal will take place in the hall from 6pm, with guest speaker Yai Atem.
A Sudanese refugee, author, and former child soldier, Yai’s passion is raising money for development work in South Sudan.
“We’re also asking local women to raid their wardrobes and donate warm shawls or scarves as a means of helping refugee women stay warm.”
Brennan is an Australian Jesuit priest, human rights lawyer and academic, who believes that a globe of 7.3 billion people faces huge challenges and moral dilemmas, when almost 60 million people are displaced, inequality is increasing, and climate change is accelerating.
The forum will be held at Port Macquarie High School at 6.30pm on Thursday May 19, with refreshments and a Q&A session to follow Frank’s address.
Tickets for the forum will be available at the door from 6pm; $20 or $10 student/concession.
