$595 My Heritage book launch for the Human Rights Day Minh Hiền and Farshid hosted the My Heritage book launch in Hobart Tasmania for the Human Rights Day. In 1981, when seventeen-year-old Minh Hiền fled Việt Nam in a tiny fishing boat to seek peace, freedom and education, she left behind her parents, her safety and her custom. Through the rough waters, she carried a rich culture and the stories of three generations in her heart, which she now shares in her memoir, My Heritage: Việt Nam fatherland motherland. For further details of My Heritage please visit https://www.myheritage.net.au The book launch was held on Friday 9 Dec 2016 from 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM at Hadley’s Orient Hotel, 34 Murray Street, Hobart. The launch consisted of readings and speeches with light refreshments. We are delighted to have had 33 attendees of diverse backgrounds at the launch. It was a warm and memorable evening, meeting new and old friends. The attendees were Professor and Staff at the University of Tasmania, Managers and Staff from various organisations in Hobart, Teachers and Students at Hobart College, Writers and Supporters from various places. We thank all attendees and especially to Eoin Breen for flying from London to Hobart on the morning of 9 December to be Master of Ceremonies for the event. Seventeen books were sold for $35 each; the total of $595 was sent to UNHCR on 15 Dec 2016.
