“Unsilenced” – Award-winning Movie Screening with Q&A

/in , /by

On Monday 28 November we are hosting “Unsilenced” – Award-winning Movie  Screening with Q&A, and would appreciate your help to promote this to your community.

Q & A panel: Guests include Mr David Matas, International Human Rights lawyer, and John Xiao, Chief editor of the English Epoch Times Australia.

Where: The Regal Theatre, 275 Kensington Road, Kensington Park
When: 7pm Monday 28 November
Cost: $15
Booking: unsilenced.eventbrite.com.au

When the Chinese Communist Party launches a brutal crackdown against 100 million citizens, a jaded American reporter and a team of innocent students risk everything to expose the deadly propaganda and fight for freedom.

Based on true events, “Unsilenced” follows Wang, a university student in Beijing, and his friends as their carefree days are shattered by the 1999 order that banned the spiritual practice Falun Gong in China. As the state churns out lies and starts brutally suppressing voices of dissent, they cross paths with Daniel, a cynical American reporter struggling to find meaning in his profession in the country he loves. With the risk of prison, torture, and even death looming over them, they must all make a choice: to go with their conscience and speak the truth, or to remain silent as atrocious crimes go on behind closed doors.

How To Keep Your Community Safe During A Mobile Or Internet Outage

/in , /by

Keep your community safe !

Do you and your community know how you would communicate if mobile phones or internet services aren’t working in a natural disaster?

Mobile and internet services keep us connected but they may not be available in a natural disaster. It is important to have backup options.

We’ve developed a supporter kit to help get the message out about being prepared for a telecommunications outage during a natural disaster, and we’d love your help to raise community awareness about this important topic.

The kit contains a range of materials such as videos, flyers, social tiles, and posters with information on the simple steps your community can take to prepare. These materials are available to download in English and 10 other languages from the kit at the link below.

How you can help

As a trusted member of the community, we’d appreciate you sharing the materials through your networks both now and if a natural disaster or emergency situation is expected.

Spread the word and help your community get ready before an emergency.

For more information, visit www.infrastructure.gov.au/STAND-languages or email the Telecommunications Resilience team via TelecommunicationsDisasterResilience@infrastructure.gov.au.

Thank you,

Full Moon Festival 2021

Dear Parents,

Due to the unpredictable nature of COVID-19 in South Australia, the Management Committee has chosen to cease the Full Moon Festival program at Prospect Council Memorial Gardens.  Regrettably, this is the second year we have not been able to celebrate together, but the health and safety of our community are paramount.

A sincere thank you to the volunteers who participated in the planning of this program and the performers who spent so much time rehearsing.

However, we have arranged 300 free show bags for children ages 3 to 16 (inclusive) to be distributed on Saturday, 25 September 2021. Please register your child/children via the Eventbrite website https://2021tttshowbag.eventbrite.com.au to receive this gift bag. Registration deadline is 10:00 a.m. Saturday, 25 September 2021 or while tickets last. Please note that only a few of these bags will also contain a dinner voucher supported by our friendly restaurants.

Upon registration, you will receive a ticket. It is important that you arrive to pick up the bags between 2:30 pm and 4:30 pm at the Vietnamese Community Centre.  Collection of the show bag is via a “Drive-Through” system therefore, you and your children are not required to leave the vehicle.

Please drive from Hanson Road into Athol Street towards the Community Centre and park in line at the gate. Kindly present your registration ticket(s) (printed or displayed on the phone) for checking and continue to drive into the parking lot, as directed by the volunteers.

Please contact Miss Thai Phung should you have any queries.

Kind regards

Thái Phụng
