‘Together we can have a greater impact than on our own’.

It costs nothing to become a member of Migration Alliance to access the Migration 2014 conference. The Migration 2014 conference is about enhancing relationships. The initiative of the conference is to foster agent-to agent relationships and external ‘convenience networks’ amongst the migration agent profession. We are seeking to drive cohesion within the entire immigration community.

‘What do you need and where can you get it?’

Sydney TAFE will host Migration 2014 on the 17th and 18th of October 2014 . The venue is opposite Central Station. We have taken out two dedicated floors to create 5 experiential training rooms and an outdoor area where a complimentary Afghan banquet will be hosted.

Each unique training room will be an immersive and interactive learning experience with a maximum capacity of 45 agents per room. Agents will move from room to room (topic to topic) throughout each day. That’s a total of 10 different experiences (migration topics) over the entire two day conference.

Migration 2014 is about participative engagement. It is our goal that migration agents will leave the conference wanting to pursue their careers with purpose and passion whilst at the same time practicing solid values. It is our vision that agents will establish enduring relationships with one another and with our corporate and government partners.

If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.

Included in the Conference will be a wonderful Afghani Lunch. Liana Allan of Migration Alliance has already tried the food at a previous event she attended and has said it is 'absolutely delicious'.  The menu for the lunch on Friday 17th October is sponsored by our conference hosts, Sydney TAFE 457 Training Benchmarks, and is as follows:

$10.00 from the sale of every conference ticket will be donated to Hope House in Afghanistan. Hope House is run by Australian Aid Organisation, Mahboba's Promise.

Mahboba’s Promise provides effective overseas development aid to severely disadvantaged Afghan women, widows, children and orphans. This is achieved through sustainable development programs such as the establishment of schools, health clinics and community facilities destined to be operated by local authorities and communities.

Afghanistan has suffered great damage in social, political, economic and other infrastructural aspects of society. For over two decades, war, post-war conflict and continuous political upheaval has resulted in physical and psychological suffering for the vast majority of Afghan men, women, and children. This has left tens of thousands of orphans behind.

In Afghanistan, any child without a father is considered an orphan because without a breadwinner and protector, they are greatly disadvantaged. Many of these children are survivors of bombings and shellings and many have been maimed by landmines, which still litter the country. Their schooling has been disrupted and they are often far from their original homes. Without help, they live on the streets and are subject to hunger, abuse and extremely poor health. Twenty-five percent of Afghani children die before the age of five, mainly due to freezing temperatures.

"What good is sitting here crying for these children? Let's do something."

- Mahboba Rawi

Who are the children at Hope House?

Most of the children at Hope House come from very bad circumstances. Afghanistan has suffered from many wars and most of the people are still suffering from grief and poverty. Some children were rescued from a refugee tent city. Others come from the streets. Some have been injured by land mines. Many have had to work full time instead of going to school.

As patron for Mahboba’s Promise, the former Governor General of Australia, Dame Quentin Bryce AD CVO commends Mahboba's efforts in raising the standards of Afghan widows, children and orphans who need it the most.

A House of Hope

Hello my name is Soahalla.
My father and older brother were shot dead one night by some villagers who entered our house. A few years later my mother also died of malaria. My brother Esmatullah and I stayed with my uncle but he mistreated us and when we heard about Hope House we came there and they took us in. This is me when I arrived. I feel like a different person now that I am at Hope House. I am very happy.
