Seeking Support? We Are Here For You
We understand that approaching professionals for help can be daunting, especially due to concerns about high costs. At FACAW Inc., we offer a welcoming and confidential environment where you can seek assistance without financial worries. We can help organise counselling for various issues, including cost of living, legal advice, and visa matters. Our goal is to empower you to help yourself and others, ensuring you have the confidence to take the first step towards a better future.
Bringing Joy Through Cultural Performances
One of our most unique and impactful projects involves sharing the rich culture of the Philippines through vibrant dance performances. Our talented dancers, adorned in traditional costumes, regularly perform for community groups, aged care residents, and various local events. These performances not only entertain but also foster cultural appreciation and bring joy to many, strengthening the bonds within our wider community. These sessions are also a wonderful opportunity for the enjoyment of the elderly and unwell.
Supporting Newcomers And Fostering Connections
Our projects extend a helping hand to new Filipino arrivals in Albury Wodonga. We provide essential support by offering donated goods to help them settle into their new homes and navigate the initial challenges of relocation. Beyond material aid, we actively build social networks and positive relationships, ensuring newcomers feel welcomed and integrated. For those looking to give back, we also welcome volunteers who are eager to assist new arrivals and become a part of their successful transition.
