I congratulate all members of the Loving Care Group of the Buddha’s Light International Association for another successful fundraising dinner and another successful year of helping those in need. Since its formation in 2005, the Loving Care Group has donated more than $2 million through 219 donations to organisations doing wonderful work in our community. This includes charities providing emergency and disaster relief, medical research, and education.
I commend Mrs Emily Huang, the Loving Care Group leader for the year, for her passion and commitment to the cause. I give my heartfelt thanks to committee director and advisor Madam Yuan Fu for her outstanding leadership over so many years. The generosity of spirit of Madam Yuan Fu is an inspiration for all Australians. The Queensland Loving Care Group is a great blessing for our beautiful country.
