RE: BC Vietnamese Canadians in support of Ukraine via UNHCR

Dear Friends

With the invasion of Ukraine by Russian troops since February 24, 2022 most of us had watched with horror the indiscriminate shelling and killing of innocent citizens forcing massive exodus of millions of people mostly women, children seniors to neighbouring countries throughout Europe.

As former Vietnamese Refugees and Boat People our community over 40 years ago had lived through those nightmarish days when we were living in fear and uncertainty in various refugee camps throughout South East Asia and we had been the recipients of UNHCR  aid when we were most in need.

We feel it is our duty now to fundraise and assist UNHCR in their efforts to give Ukrainians who need an urgent lifeline, give urgent medical aid, provide emergency relief and evacuation transport and bring food and shelter to those displaced civilians.

Please join our community in our efforts to fundraise to UNHCR Canada  Ukrainians by clicking the following link http://vietbcassociations.ca

All donations will be done through the secured website of UNHCR-Canada and tax-deductible receipts will be issued instantaneously.

All net proceeds from the event will be forwarded to UNHCR-Canada

Your support is greatly appreciated

Sincerely,
On behalf of the Organizing Committee
