On October 8, 2023, during the board meeting of the Australia-China Charity Foundation, the directors made a visionary decision based on the suggestion of Josephine. The Australia-China Charity Foundation decided to support the development of education and social welfare, expressing their social responsibility and investment in the future through charitable donations. Generously, the foundation donated 5,000 Australian dollars to the School of Chinese Medicine at the University of Western Sydney to support the education of traditional Chinese medicine and promote the importance of traditional medical practices. In addition, the foundation donated 500 Australian dollars to Chinese Parents Association. This donation will help provide better educational resources, medical equipment, and improve their daily quality of life. Both of these donations reflect the Australia-China Charity Foundation's deep concern for the education sector and vulnerable groups.

The Lanterns Pavilion & Han Fu experience
Multi-cultural celebration of the Mid-Autumn Festival!

On September 16, 2023, we have chosen to partner with Haymarket Institute, to jointly host the opening ceremony of Mid-Autumn Festival in Chinatown, as their objectives are in alignment with ours - that is to promote cross cultural exchange of our multicultural communities at the same time giving back to society.

We organized Han Fu experience and performances including shaolin Kong Fu and Han Fu show.

Throughout the performance, there were many people come to experience Han Fu. These Han fu is a personal donation by the chairman of Australia China charity foundation---Xiongming Xie. The purpose of Han Fu event was not only to give them the opportunity to experience the traditional Chinese ethnic costumes, but also raising donations.

Visitors can try on the Han Fu for photos or purchase them at their own price. Each payment of Han Fu will go to the Australia China Charitable Foundation. During the event, we received a total of $699 in donations from warm-hearted individuals.
