Over the weekend of March 17-18th, the Thai community held a large Culture and Food Festival at Federation Square in the CBD of Melbourne. The festival organisers very generously provided a stall for the supporters of Vimokkharam to sell some delicious Thai dishes as a fundraising effort for the Hermitage. The weekend was a great success, with over $9,600 raised from food sales alone. Sādhu anumodanā for all the hard work, generosity and wonderful cooperation from everyone!
