The team raised awareness about liver health and hepatitis B at the Lennox Street Market in Richmond on Sunday 12 December. With the fantastic support of volunteers and the Vietnamese Australian Federation (VAF), the Vietnamese and wider community were able to access information and participate in activities at the LiverWELL stalls. With music, dance, food, and fun games for the kids, it was an enjoyable day for everyone!
Volunteer of the month: Sneha Naik
From working as a resident doctor in Kenya and India to completing a master’s degree in healthcare management, Sneha wanted to give something back to the community and to make a difference in the lives of those around her.
