AA Weekly

As Term 3 begins online at the AA, there are many individuals and families worldwide who currently find themselves in financial difficulty as a consequence of COVID-19. The AA has established a Hardship Fund to support students of the school who have been and continue to be financially affected by the current pandemic, and who might not be able to continue their studies without assistance. We are therefore launching an immediate appeal for this purpose, and hope that friends and members of our community will help us to ensure that all our students are protected throughout this difficult period. Donations of all sizes are welcome. Donate now
