Nordic International Press Center Ascendas Australian Chinese News Agency (edited by Feng Yang) The charity dinner party hosted by the African ACC (Amitabha Caring Center) was held on December 1, 2017 in the White Horse City Hall Auditorium in Melbourne, Australia.

From Taiwan’s Gao Sheng: Master Hui Li, the founder of the African ACC, was shocked decades ago to learn that AIDS patients ravaged Africa. Many parents suffered from this terminal illness and died, causing countless children to lose their parents and become orphans since childhood. In addition, Africa lacks education. Many children cannot escape the destiny of poverty, so Master Huili decided to open a hospital in Malawi in 2004, hoping to help children who have been ravaged by natural disasters, diseases, wars and poverty.

Venerable Huili then promoted the Buddhism spirit of Purdue sentient beings to Lesotho, Swaziland and Namibia. So far he has sponsored nearly 1,000 African children, and has even managed out-of-hospital relief stations (CBO). In the care of orphans, ACC has taken care of more than 8,000 children in total.

ACC plans to open a fifth campus in Mozambique. It is currently awaiting approval from the local government and hopes to continue to set up preparatory offices in 54 African countries including Kenya.

Inspired by Master Huili's perseverance and great compassion and kindness, through years of hard work, a large number of young talents have been cultivated. This magnificent action by Master Huili has touched thousands of people and won the support of governments and all walks of life. Master Huili has taken African children to various countries for many times when conditions are ripe.

These African children are versatile, can speak Mandarin, sing Chinese songs, and can perform Shaolin martial arts. This is the third time I have come to Melbourne for charity activities, and it has received extensive attention and support from all sectors of Melbourne society. The charity banquet hall was brilliantly lit and lively.

A dazzling array of publicity booths were set up in the outer hall of the auditorium, including handicrafts and paintings of African children, as well as magazines and books published by ACC. The guests all appreciated, collected and kept as a souvenir. The conference volunteers were busy receiving the crowds of guests and leading them into the hall.

There were dozens of seats in the venue. At the main table of the venue, Master Huili accompanied the guests: Chen Qiongyu, Director of the Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in Melbourne; City of Whitehorse Mayor Cr. Andrew Davenport; Yang Qianhui; Master Rushan; Dai Zhaoguo; Zhou Yuda; Wang Huaide; Wang Guiying; Liu Zhenxiong; Zeng Junjie; Teng Fei took his seat.

北欧国际新闻中心 腾飞澳大利亚华人通讯社（编辑 枫杨）由非洲ACC（阿弥陀佛关怀中心)主办的慈善素宴晚会，于2017年12月1日晩上，假座澳大利亚墨尔本的白马市市政厅礼堂隆重举行。

由来自台湾的高圣：非洲ACC創辦人慧禮法師數十年前驚悉愛滋病患肆虐非洲，很多父母患上此絕症死亡，令無數兒童自幼喪失雙親淪為孤兒，加上非洲缺乏教育，很多兒童無法擺脫貧窮的宿命，因此慧禮法師決定於2004年在馬拉威(Malawi)開設院區，希望幫助受天災、疾病、戰亂和貧窮摧殘的兒童。

慧禮法師隨後將佛教普渡眾生精神推廣至賴索托(Lesotho)、史瓦濟蘭(Swaziland)和納米比亞(Namibia)，至今助養近1000名非洲兒童，連計院外部落救濟站(CBO)照顧的孤兒，ACC合共照顧了8000多名孩童。

ACC計劃於莫桑比克(Mozambique)開設第五間院區，目前正等候當地政府審批，並希望繼續在包括肯亞(Kenya)等54個非洲國家設立籌備處。

在慧礼法师坚韧不拔意志和大慈悲、大善心的感召下，通过多年努力，培养出大批年轻人才。慧礼法师的这个博大宏伟的行动，感动了千千万万的人，得到了各国政府和社会各界支持。慧礼法师又在条件成熟时多次带着非洲少年儿童到各国巡演。
这些非洲孩子们都是多才多艺，能讲国语，唱中文歌曲，能表演少林武术。这是第三次来到墨尔本作慈善活动了，受到墨尔本社会各界的广泛关注和支持。当晚的慈善素宴大厅灯火辉煌，热闹非凡。

在礼堂外厅设置了琳琅满目的宣传摊位，其中有非洲孩子们的手工艺品，绘画作品，以及ACC出版的杂志书刊等。宾客们都纷纷欣赏、收藏，留作纪念。会务义工们在忙不迪地接待纷至沓来的来宾，引领进入大厅会场。

A (4-square-foot) Chinese landscape painting auction created by Mr. Teng Fei, the vice chairman of the World Chinese Mass Media Association, the president of Ascendas Australian Chinese News Agency, the chairman of the Australia-China Calligraphy and Painting Art Exchange Association, and the Chinese first-class artist .
       The auction started from AUD 800. Under the promotion and promotion of the two hosts, the auction price climbed all the way. From an increase of 50 yuan each time to two thousand yuan, I had to mention that it was necessary to add 100 yuan once, and it still soared. After Zhou Yuda and Ping Wu, two young people, Shanren, jointly auctioned $6100.
       According to Teng Fei's original wishes, all the money from this auction was donated to ACC.
       Master Huili was as happy as everyone else. I stepped forward and gave a speech in front of the displayed landscape painting. It can be seen that the kindness of Melbourne's folk customs is truly Buddha's light, and the compassionate love is universally praised.
       Next is the lucky draw. The director of the Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in Melbourne, Chen Qiongyu, and the Mayor of Whitehorse City, City of Whitehorse Mayor Cr. Andrew Davenport; draw various prizes respectively. The winners happily came to the stage to receive the award.
       The final prize: a large flat-screen TV, won by the Mervyn Lim couple. What's touching is that after they got the flat-screen TV from the mayor of White Horse, they decided to donate it immediately and auctioned it on the spot. As a result, they sold for 1000 Australian dollars, all donated to ACC.

       从800澳元起拍，在两位主持人的宣传推介下，拍价一路攀升，从每次加50元，到升至两千元之后，不得不提到需加100元一次，依然一路飚升，最后在周裕達、ping wu两位青年善仁共同拍得$6100元之后一锤定音。
       依照滕飛原先的意愿，这笔义拍的善款全数捐给ACC。
       慧礼法师和大家一样十分高兴。上前在展示的山水画前面发表了感言。可见墨尔本民风的善良，真是佛光普照，大慈大悲的心仪普世传颂。
       接下来是幸运大抽奖，由驻墨爾本台北經濟文化辦事處 陳瓊玉處長，白马市市长City of Whitehorse Mayor Cr. Andrew Davenport;分别抽出各类奖品。获奖者欢欢喜喜地上台领奖。
       最后的大奖：一台平板大电视机，由Mervyn Lim夫妇获得。令人感动的是，他（她)们俩在从白马市长手里拿到平板电视后决定立即捐献出来，当场拍卖，结果卖得1000澳元，全部捐给ACC。

       Finally, the little African actors took turns to introduce themselves, express their motto, and encourage each other. Then everyone went to the stage to sing the finale. The ACC Charity Night was a complete success in the joy of music and singing. Master Huili and the main guest took a group photo with the children. Many guests also enthusiastically stepped forward to take photos with the African friends, leaving indelible memories.

最后是非洲小演员们先轮番上台自我介绍，发表座右铭，相互勉励。接着全体上台大合唱压轴。ACC慈善之晚，在一片欢腾的音乐歌声中圆满成功。慧礼法师和主嘉宾上台与孩子们一起合影。不少宾客也热情地踊上前去，和非洲小伙伴们合影，留下不可磨灭的记忆。
