Celebrating Culture! The Philippine Honorary Consul General Inaugral Gala Ball

Celebrating Culture! The Philippine Honorary Consul General Inaugral Gala Ball

 

Principal Migration Agent and Lawyer, Chris Johnston attended the Philippine Honorary Consul General of South Australia, Mr Mark McBriarty to attend the inaugural Gala Ball on Friday, 12 February 2016. The gala ball was held at the Adelaide Oval with all proceeds going to the Australian Foundation for Fostering Learning in the Philippines (AFFLIP).

Featuring a 3 course Filipino-inspired menu from the Hill of Grace Restaurant, the evening was filled with good food, entertaining performances and pleasant company. An auction was also held at the gala ball to raise funds for the AFFLIP.

It was a pleasure for Chris to be part of this cultural event. It is a nice reminder for businesses to reach out and be involved with the community, especially in providing support and aid to the needy. On behalf of Work Visa Lawyers, we wish the AFFLIP an outstanding year ahead in meeting its objectives to facilitate learning for the young Filipinos in Mindanao and other parts of the Philippines.

Chris spent time with Migration Institute of Australia (MIA) members German Glico and Teresita Sarmiento. Teresita is an active and important member of the Filipino community. She did a great job in organising a number of tables for the Gala Ball.

Work Visa Lawyers at the 11th Korean Culture and Food Festival!

 

Thanks to the Korean Community of SA for a Great Day!

We would like to thank the organisers and volunteers from the South Australian Korean Community for putting together the Korean Culture and Food Festival .

It was great to speak with members of the Korean Community, local politicians and the general public about Australian Visas.

People wanted to know about a range of visas including Partner Visas, 457 visa, skilled visas for accountant and student visas.

We enjoyed the food and performances and look forward to next year.

Here are some photos of the day, taken on the 14 November 2015:

Comments by Chris Johnston – Principal Lawyer and Registered Migration Agent at Work Visa Lawyers

It is always a pleasure to connect with the international community in Adelaide. The Korean Culture and Food Festival brings a nice group of people together and provides great food for the day as well (hence our third consecutive year of participation). On a serious note we are happy to help the international community with visa questions or issues, ensuring that a family’s visa application is done correctly and on time to avoid future visa problems.

And of course our wonderful migration agent Christine Lee is a native Korean speaker and has helped many Koreans over the years in relation to Australia migration.

See you all at the festival!
