ABPI and Bhutanese Community in Perth, Australia donates to Bhutan Health Trust Fund
His Excellency Lyonpo Tandin Wangchuk, Chairperson of the Bhutan Health Trust Fund (BHTF), graciously received a generous donation from the Association of Bhutanese in Perth Inc. (ABPI), Australia. The handing-over ceremony was graced by His Excellency and attended by the BHTF Secretariat. Mr. Chhimi Dorji, President of ABPI, and Mr. Tshering Phuntsho, the campaign coordinator, joined the event virtually.
The contribution was raised through a one-month, zero-expense fundraising campaign titled “AUD 10 for BHTF”, voluntarily initiated and coordinated by Mr. Tshering Phuntsho in collaboration with Abpi Perth. The campaign aimed to strengthen the long-term financial sustainability of BHTF, engage the Bhutanese diaspora in nation-building efforts, and raise awareness about the importance of shared responsibility for Bhutan’s healthcare system.
The Hon’ble Chairperson conveyed heartfelt gratitude to Mr. Tshering Phuntsho, Mr. Chhimi Dorji, president of ABPI, and the entire Bhutanese community in Perth, Australia for their unwavering support and solidarity. Their generosity significantly contributes to ensuring free and uninterrupted access to essential medicines and vaccines for all Bhutanese.
