Special Event - 21 June 2019
You are invited to a very special event, hosted by author Minh Hiền and family in memory of Kim Nga, the Golden Moon, to celebrate the contributions of Vietnamese refugees to Australian society and bring awareness of Motor Neurone Disease (MND).
21 June is MND Global Day.
This year marks 30 years that our mother/grandmother passed away as a result of MND.
The event will include speeches about Vietnamese refugees, Vietnamese literature and MND. Minh Hiền and her nieces, Ellyse and Emily, aged 12 and 14, will read from My Heritage and from Minh Hiền’s new writing about her mother’s last days in Hobart.
Signed copies of My Heritage will be available for purchase. In honour of Kim Nga (Minh Hiền’s mother and Ellyse and Emily’s grandmother), we will donate the gross proceeds of sales on 21 June 2019 to the MND Association of Tasmania.
If you wish to join us please email farshid@minh-hien.com to register.
