A Word from Our President
We have met the young and the elderly to discuss and
study the reality of the community, we have talked about
(their concerns, problems, and needs) and came to the
conclusion that he or she must be
helped. And now we proudly to
announce the launch of the
Australian Arab Association, this
Association will use its services
to benefit the community. The
important goals are:
First: Work to integrate with
other cultures through the work
programs and development
projects, health - social-
environmental - cultural - art - entertainment - education
- awareness seminars and educational programs. Leaders
of all walks of life do not give us orders but who gives
the ideals, values and morals, this is not the cover of the
weak or the trick of the mighty - ethics are the values that
we uphold and represent us, which are the principles that
we practice in life. Morality is a practice - this is the
inheritance we do not claim that is ideal, but we strive to
have the best experience that is enshrined in humanity
this did not come out of the blue, every one of us holds
the background culture and civilization in this country we
live in. This good land is an oasis for our children; we
must be good role models to help lead them to A
prospers future, with this Association we hope to achieve
a better and successful future.
We hope that our friends and associate come together to
support this association. We will put our hands together
and contribute together to build a better future for
ourselves and our children in this lovely state and
country we live in and that we proudly call home.
