My journey with CMU started in 2013 when God planted a desire in my heart to study overseas.
A dream that I knew would never happen because financially we couldn’t afford it.

I’ve witnessed the good things that the filipino community has taken part during this crisis particularly to those international students who are struggling. This is where FASTCOVic Execomm decided to share the organisation’s funds to students, gather other donations through our survey conducted and work hand in hand with other organizations including the Philippine Consulate in Melbourne. It was overwhelming and many have donated food packs, adopted international student (those who cannot pay their accommodation) and provided financial help to struggling Filipinos. It was inspiring and very heartwarming to see many people making a difference no matter how small their deeds are.

In these trying times of COVID-19, various stories of Filipinos helping Filipinos cope with this global pandemic, in whatever way possible, have been a testament that bayanihan spirit is very much alive. Filipino students and the Filipino community here in Canberra, Australian Capital Territory (ACT) and in Australia show that bayanihan should not stop when you leave the Philippines, instead bayanihan is an opportunity to come together for our kababayans in these challenging times. In my university, the Australian National University (ANU), the Australian National University Filipino Association (ANUFA) Executive Committee has organised Bayanihan Para sa Bayan project and raised a total of AUD 1,570 from the donations of students and Filipino community in ACT. The fund was used to purchase 35 boxes of three-ply face masks for the healthcare workers of the Ilocos Training and Regional Medical Center.
