A Word from Our President

We have met the young and the elderly to discuss and

study the reality of the community, we have talked about

(their concerns, problems, and needs) and came to the

conclusion that he or she must be

helped. And now we proudly to

announce the launch of the

Australian Arab Association, this

Association will use its services

to benefit the community. The

important goals are:

First: Work to integrate with

other cultures through the work

programs and development

projects, health - social-

environmental - cultural - art - entertainment - education

- awareness seminars and educational programs. Leaders

of all walks of life do not give us orders but who gives

the ideals, values and morals, this is not the cover of the

weak or the trick of the mighty - ethics are the values that

we uphold and represent us, which are the principles that

we practice in life. Morality is a practice - this is the

inheritance we do not claim that is ideal, but we strive to

have the best experience that is enshrined in humanity

this did not come out of the blue, every one of us holds

the background culture and civilization in this country we

live in. This good land is an oasis for our children; we

must be good role models to help lead them to A

prospers future, with this Association we hope to achieve

a better and successful future.

We hope that our friends and associate come together to

support this association. We will put our hands together

and contribute together to build a better future for

ourselves and our children in this lovely state and

country we live in and that we proudly call home.
