New Land, New Life, tells the inspiring firsthand stories of five refugees from the Horn of Africa who've settled in Australia and made a new life in a new land for themselves. New Land, New Life was funded by the Department of Immigration and Citizenship under the Diversity and Social Cohesion Program. Produced by www.afterglow.org.au

HARDA runs regular swimming programs for children from our Horn of Africa communities - Ethiopia, South Sudan, Somalia, etc - and after a number of years many of these kids have achieved their bronze medallions and are taking over the role of swimming instructors and teaching the smaller kids. Part of the programs include visits to the beach since many of the kids live in Sydney's west far from the coast and have had little or no experience playing in the surf. To find out more and support these programs, go to www.harda.org.au

This gives a snapshot of the employment program HARDA has been running annually to help refugees and migrants especially women, from Horn of Africa countries like South Sudan, Ethiopia and Somalia find work. here in Australia. Read the Sydney Morning Herald's article on this. For many it represents their first ever job here. Many struggle with literacy and technology and so the training requires constant one-on-one work. But the results are amazing!

Sydney-based aid agency HARDA has responded to a request by the local charity Brothers in Need for 175 sleeping bags for the homeless. As the weather turns cold, these high quality bags will hopefully make the lives of people sleeping rough a little easier.

A peaceful Ethiopia is essential for the prosperity of its people & the Horn of Africa region.

The @UN's immediate priority is the well-being of the people of Tigray and ensuring those in need urgently receive assistance. https://bit.ly/39TeAFf
