This month, as usual, has been a fruitful one with many meaningful activities going on in our centre, and we are thrilled to share with you some of them:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">On 8 December, we were honoured to host two special guests, Tegan Smyth of the Grassroots Futures and Nick Rothwell of the Kellett School\u2019s Outreach Programme, who came to our centre and talked with our members. Thank you for the visit and for keeping us in mind.<\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/refugeeunion.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Guest-Visit-8-12-2021-914x1024.jpeg\" \/><\/figure>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">On 13 December, we were very glad to have students of Li Po Chun United World College visiting our centre and preparing activities for children. Thank you for spending time with us and your efforts. We all had great fun.<\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/refugeeunion.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Li-Po-Chun-13-12-2021-776x1024.jpeg\" \/><\/figure>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">On 23 December, volunteers of Grassroots Future organised a crochet class in our centre. This time ladies learned how to make African violet hexagons using crochet. Approaching Christmas, we had a party for celebration afterward. Thank you so much for everything our community partner Grassroots Future has prepared for us!<\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/refugeeunion.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Grassroots-23-12-2021-1024x841.jpeg\" \/><\/figure>\n<h5 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Giving is a blessing<\/h5>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This month we received donations of wide-ranging items.
