<p>Hi all</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>I've just donated to this campaign to help Awel Aweng to the SCRA Biennial in Ottawa later this month. <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333px;">Awel is a co-founder of New Change, the young African women’s leadership group that
presented at the recent Trans-Tasman Conference in Community Psychology in Melbourne, and it would be just amazing to have her travel to Canada to carry the group's message of hope and optimism to the wider world. (A pretty good promo for the best of Vic Uni
too, thanks to Ali Baker's involvement).</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333px;"><br>
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333px;">Whether you're going to Ottawa yourself or not (I am one of the lucky ones), contributing to Awel's crowd-funding effort could be your way of sharing in the northern summer sunshine
<span>😊</span></span></p>
