Fundraising for Kunar’s Earthquake in Sydney
The Embassy of Afghanistan in Canberra was honored to participate in the fundraising dinner hosted by the HADIA Foundation at Granville Town Hall on 13 September. Ambassador Wahidullah Waissi delivered the keynote address, expressing solidarity with the victims of the devastating earthquakes in #Kunar province.
“We are gathered here tonight with heavy hearts. Behind every number is a face, a story, a mother, a father, a child who will not see tomorrow. It is not just a tragedy for Kunar, it is a wound for the whole of Afghanistan, and for Afghans everywhere. In moments like this, we are reminded of the fragility of life, but also of the strength of solidarity,” the Ambassador said.
Ambassador Waissi added, “Our community in Australia has always carried Afghanistan in its heart. We celebrate its beauty and culture, and today, we share its pain. The people of Kunar are not asking us for words of sympathy alone, they are asking us for action and for hope.”
The event brought together over 250 attendees from across the Afghan and wider Australian community and successfully raised around AUD 60,000 to support humanitarian relief efforts. The Embassy commends the Hadia Foundation’s decade-long record of humanitarian service and extends gratitude to all who contributed generously to this vital cause. ????
