CRS member Oliver Caruana-Brown and his team Canberra City SC, along with Weston Molonglo FC, stood together to welcome Hakeem al-Araibi and support refugees, as well as hold a minutes’ silence for the lives lost in Christchurch, before their FFA Cup clash over the weekend.Talking to the Canberra Times, Oliver said “al-Araibi’s story transcends one man – it is a story of the “shocking” way Australia treats refugees under its protection, and what can be done when the community backs a cause.”Full story here:
Come along for a night of culture, food and entertainment. ‘The Merger’, a comedic film about refugees in
Australia and settling in through AFL will be shown on the big screen along with food, art stalls and multicultural performances. All proceeds go to CRS. Link to event and tickets below:
