ACR

Mr. Daniel Norris from the Baptist World Aid Australia which supports the Alliance of Chin Refugees (ACR) School visited to the ACR office in Malaysia. According to the ACR weekly newsletter, Mr. Norris and the ACR leader had a meeting last Sunday and they visited the school. 

Three days later, Mr. Norris donated funding for the school for a one-year period. Mr. Norris said that the Baptist World Aid Australia works in 18 countries and they support 80 organizations, but this is the first time they are working with ACR in Malaysia. "I am very glad for the request and I hope to visit other schools located outside of town," said Mr. Norris. 

"I am especially grateful to ACR's leader who welcomed me and informed me about the school. According to our discussions, he has many projects to do in next year, and we will make another 3-day visit every six months to monitor the project.”

Mr. Norris also indicated that they will not only donate to the school, but they will also consider supporting ACR's clinic as well as find lawyers to help refugees arrested by the authorities and deportation to the Thai-Malay border.
