25.01.2022 This Saturday you have the opportunity to have some fun while making a difference! Let’s get together and raise money for our brothers and sisters in Artsakh. All proceeds from for Art-sake will be donated to Armenian Christian Mission. ACM’s centre in Armenia has been operating daily for the distribution of clothing, food parcels, blankets, and heat support. The team is also working to match sponsors with refugee families, to provide long-term food, medical, and rental su...pport for the refugees. Your donations will help them supply these refugees and families with urgent humanitarian needs. Imagine decorating your home with a piece of Artsakh made by you to look at everyday! It’s going to be a night of painting, drinking and socialising! We would love to see a full house! Artist: Rita Karagelinian Food: donated by delihub Unlimited wine and soft drinks

25.01.2022 Tuesday, July 14, 2020 AGBU Central Board Statement on the Violation of Ceasefire by Azerbaijani Armed Forces AGBU is following with concern recent reports of a... blatant violation of a ceasefire by the Azerbaijani armed forces in the direction of the Tavush region in Armenia. With our worldwide membership and global network, AGBU stands behind the government and armed forces of Armenia and the people of Artsakh and calls upon the international community to condemn Azerbaijan’s unfounded military aggression, which threatens the peaceful resolution of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict.

25.01.2022 AGBU STEPS UP CAMPAIGN FOR LEBANON RELIEF EFFORTS ON HEELS OF ONE MILLION DOLLAR MARKER FOR PANDEMIC CRISES With the campaign launch of the AGBU Global Humanita...rian Emergency Relief Fund in mid April 2020, donors from around the world demonstrated in action the meaning behind the AGBU motto In Unity is Strength. In support of pandemic-related relief efforts, grass roots donations were generated from digital and mass mailing appeals as well as major gifts rushed to district offices from long time AGBU supporters. By July 31st, the campaign reached its first goalpost of one million dollars. But just four days later, the explosion that rocked Lebanon on August 4th, exceeded $100,000 in just three days in support of urgent rescue and relief operations. The demand for humanitarian aid has escalated in the wake of the physical destruction of homes and businesses, on top of the financial and health crises already impacting lives and livelihoods in the country. Unlike other crises for which AGBU has raised funds, be it the 1988 Earthquake, the Artsakh War, Syrian Armenian refugees and other localized emergencies, the COVID-19 crisis and the recent Lebanon disaster have put Armenians in peril in multiple hotspots across the globe, AGBU President Berge Setrakian remarked. He went on to say that despite the uncertain financial times, the outpouring of support from all corners of the Armenian world demonstrates the innate sense of responsibility that Armenians have for one another when lives are on the line. According to Anita Anserian, the managing director of the AGBU Central Office, who remains in constant contact with the regional offices and local chapters across the AGBU global network, the groundswell of response was immediate and the momentum strong. The leadership across our network is working overtime to not only help raise funds but allocate them to initiatives on the ground without delay. We couldn’t be more gratified to see how everyone is rallying to help those in greatest need. There are so many heroes among us. Without these substantial sums to underpin our efforts, we could not have deployed our food package programs in the hardest hit areas like Lebanon, Armenia and Syria, in addition to cities you wouldn’t expect like LA, Toronto, Montreal, Sydney and others, noted Anserian. Now we must step up our fundraising campaign to be there for our devastated communities in Lebanon. Setrakian concurred, saying, Funds already raised to date are depleting rapidly as the needs climb higher by the day. This means that, for the foreseeable future, the urgency for relief and assistance needs sustained vigilance. So we continue to appeal to all Armenians to stand with us to whatever extent possible so that no hurting Armenian, anywhere in the world, is left out in the cold. Even when the pandemic is behind us and Lebanon is able to stabilize from the shock of the widespread destruction, AGBU will be ready to rise to global challenges as never before. That’s going to be the ‘new normal’ for us, as a force for hope and healing worldwide. For more information about the AGBU Global Humanitarian Emergency Relief Fund, go to agbugiving.org/reliefefforts. To rush urgent support to Lebanon, please donate online (donate.agbu.org/lebanonrelief), by phone (212-319-6383, M-F, 9am-5pm EST) or by wire transfer (For details, e-mail [email protected]).

13.01.2022 Thinking of coming to our event on saturday night? We would like to reassure everyone that this event is not only for the artists amongst us. In fact you don’t have to know anything about drawing or painting. You will all be in the safe hands of Rita Karagelinian who will guide you as you attempt to create a masterpiece. Rita is an Australian born artist of Armenian descent. She studied at the National Art School, with her artistic journey spanning over a decade. Rita's art explores different ideas of connection and one's relationship with their surroundings. Her recent achievements are in her portraits of Archbishop Haigazoun Najarian and Opera Australia's principal soprano Natalie Aroyan. Please refer to her vast styles of work at http://www.ritak.com.au/gallery/

12.01.2022 Dear Community Member, We're sure that you will have already heard about the terrible situation in Beirut, Lebanon after the explosion wreaked havoc on the city... on August 4th. AGBU stands in solidarity with the Armenian community in Beirut and we are depending on our local community to join us in raising urgently needed funds. Based on our first needs assessment, the AGBU Humanitarian Relief Fund for Lebanon is providing emergency assistance specifically focusing on three areas: FOOD DISTRIBUTION The AGBU Center is distributing food boxes to 750-1,000 or more families (we anticipate the need to exceed 1,000 very quickly) MEDICAL ASSISTANCE AGBU dispensaries will be providing medications and first aid essentials based on information which is being gathered from home visits EMERGENCY RESPONSE AGBU will finance and assist in organizing the rebuild of houses, replacement of windows and doors and the provision of essential home appliances. The committee will provide temporary housing to those whose houses are uninhabitable. Every dollar raised for the AGBU Humanitarian Relief Fund for Lebanon will be allocated directly to support the above assistance programs and will help us respond to any changing needs within the community. AGBU has already raised over $2 million dollars for aid (see email below), but this barely scratches the surface of what is needed. We're hoping that you will be able to assist us by donating to either AGBU Sydney directly (BSB: 032000 Account: 121001, using your name as a reference) or to donate.agbu.org/lebanonrelief. If you're unable to donate online, please contact Hovhaness Kouyoumdjian on 0408 283 826 and he will provide other options to donate. We encourage you to forward this to your family, friends and colleagues. In unity is strength and together we can put Lebanon on the road to recovery. Regards, AGBU Sydney Main Committee
