The Asian Women's Circle Group (AWCG) at Augsburg, in collaboration with the Pan Asian Student Services, is planning an educational trip to Australia for winter 2009.
There about 2500 Hmong living in Australia. It has been over 30 years since the end of the Indo-china wars (Vietnam War) and the migration of Hmong refugees to Australia. Yet over 90% of the Hmong still live below Australia's poverty rate and high school graduations remain extremely low.
