A NEW BEGINNING

PASSION, INTEGRITY & APNAPAN

Welcome to year 2017. A new year with new passion, projects and what a better start it can be
with the launch of top twenty five migrant professionals in the magazine titled Skilled Migrant
Professional by Tommy Adebayo. One hopes that the trend will continue among community
organizations and leaders to support each other.
It is also an anxious wait for the Australian of the Year Awards as two of our close friends Yasmin
Khan (QLD) and Abdullahi Alam (WA) are the nominees. We are keeping our fingers crossed.
The WA elections are in about sixty days and we are waiting for the policies in detail plus
encourage the members to attend the various forums and to make an informed decision.

FAYYAZ SUMBUL FOUNDATION MATCH IN 2017


We had planned to have the match before ODI but have postponed it as the most
convenient date was 18th January however being a working day it seems difficult for
members to take time consecutively for two days. Lets wait for the next date.
YEAR 12 RESULTS ARE OUT
Congratulations to all the year 12 students on achieving the milestone. Haseeb Riaz from
WA has achieved outstanding results from our community and I am sure there will be others
so please keep us informed.

Australia Day Project 2017


Following from last issue we have so far
collected 2000$. We are requesting only 5
dollars from each member which is almost
price of a cup of coffee in Australia and if only
1000 members come forward we can achieve
the target. As is always the case daily update
of all donations with initials of the donors will
be posted online. Once the campaign ends
the full statement will be provided to the Hospital Trust and receipt will be posted.

Zarar Shaheed Trust is named after Lt Zarar, PN. who was the pilot of that fateful Atlantic aircraft
which was shot down on 10 August, 1999 and embraced Shahadat. Its is an amazing story of
effort of his old parents, who after the loss of their son, started a noble endeavour and single
handedly started a trust after his name, constructing a hospital at Bau walla village, Burki,
Lahore.. Trust hasn't got any official or NGO support but is able, through the support of friends
and common people, to manage a health unit since 2004 and construct the basement of
hospital. More than Five hundred thousand patients benefited from health unit in these years.
We are honoured to be part of this project.
