African refugee Tumezghi Tesfay came to Australia from war-torn Eritrea last September, hoping for safety. 5 days later he was brutally attacked outside Wollongong train station; and for what, just a few pennies.
Since then Tumezghi has received many offers to help including money. But he is humble man and does not wish to be in the spot light.
Tumezghi's wish: to show refugees and new Australians a safe and positive Australia. To send 50 refugees on tour to ACT.
Donate now to send 50 people in his situation to the ACT visiting parliament House, The War Memorial and Questacon.
Your donation is tax deductable and will pay for a bus charter, food and accommodation for Tumezghi and 50 other people in a similar situation.
