What are TEAR Action Groups
TEAR Action Groups are small clusters of Christians that meet regularly to connect with people who share TEAR's passion for achieving justice and ending poverty. We focus on advocacy, educating ourselves and fundraising for TEAR's programs. (see for more info about TEAR and TEAR groups)
We will also hear from a guest speaker , Chrissy Ellis (left), TEAR Australia’s Program Officer for the Dhumba program. Chrissy will talk about her journey as an Aboriginal woman and the role and impact of the program.
