“It doesn’t end here, there’s so much more work to be done and Australia is going to be with you for the foreseeable future,” he said to the IDPs.

During the ceremony, five IDPs were awarded livelihood support, two got assistive devices and five received certificates of live birth.

“To those who will receive their birth certificate, I hope that this document will help you access different government services and open up lots of opportunities. I also wish for the health and wellbeing of our partners needing assistive devices. And to the recipients of livelihood support, I wish you great success in building a better future for your families, ” the Ambassador said.

Robinson also joined a focus group discussion to assess how the IDPs are coping up with the pandemic. (APB/PIA Lanao del Sur)
