We had a very good market in Valla Beach on Saturday 3rd August. Lots of positive interactions with market-goers, who signed our open letter about the plight of asylum seekers on Nauru. We also took over $130 in sales and donations, and signed up several new members.
It’s worth noting that, on the same day, we donated $2,000 to the Asylum Seekers Centre in Newtown following our successful fundraiser a week earlier in Nambucca Heads.
