Acknowledging the work of the Asian Australian Alliance Women's Forum, members of the Nepalese community and BloodWood Restaurant and Bar in Newtown in fundraising efforts this week to support recovery efforts following the earthquakes in Nepal.
Ms JENNY LEONG (Newtown) [1.43 p.m.]: I draw the attention of the House to the work of the Asian Australian Alliance Women's Forum, members of the Nepalese community and BloodWood Restaurant and Bar in Newtown in fundraising efforts this week to support recovery efforts following the earthquakes in Nepal. Two fundraising dinners were held in Newtown on Monday night. I commend the Asian Australian Alliance Women's Forum and the Nepalese community for their fundraising dinner at Kammadhenu on north King Street, supporting Women for Human Rights and the Single Women (widows) Group in Nepal. I particularly acknowledge the hard work of Anjana, Kingsley and Shamim Anwar, a representative of the Nepalese community, who spoke at the event. I also acknowledge Claire, Mitchell and their team, who held a fundraiser at BloodWood Restaurant and Bar on south King Street on the same night. I commend their activity in raising money for the G2 Boys Community Club in Nepal.
