I was honoured to be asked to speak at the dinner and fundraising event held on Saturday night to assist Ukrainian displaced persons in Tasmania.

Warmest thank you to Australian Lithuain friends who organised this event. It was supported by a number of people and organisations, but I would also like to thank the venue – Beltana Bowls Club – for their wonderful support.

I have to admit I was so busy chatting to people I didn’t take photos but here are a few that were sent to me. Note the beautiful sun-flowers in the photo – a beloved symbol of Ukrainian national identity.?
