SEMVAC Helps on PickMyProject.vic.gov.au

Would you please take 5 minutes to help?

You might know some Vietnamese Australians, or even have one as neighbour. English is very different to Vietnamese (You know the expression "It looks Greek to me"? Well, to Vietnamese it is like that). While most can learn English, a few thousand can't.

A group of some 20 volunteers, Aussies and Vietnamese Australians, are doing a service called SEMVAC Helps to help such people with issues such as "How do I apply for Australian citizenship?", "This parking fine is wrong, how I do challenge it?", "My parents passed away recently, I am terribly depressed, what do I do?"

In 18 months, we have helped more than 700 people, and the numbers are growing. So, we have pooled our own moneys to rent an office in Springvale. And now we are applying for a government grant, called Pick My Project.

If you go to pickmyproject.vic.gov.au and vote for SEMVAC, you are helping us to get the grant to help with expenses such as rental, volunteers' petrol.

Would you please go online and put SEMVAC on the list of 3 projects you support? Thanks!
