Asian Community Transformation Trust – "Is Christchurch still a safe place for me and my family?"
Since the disappearance of a Chinese real estate agent in Christchurch, this question has been on the minds of many; especially the Chinese and Asian Communities.
Instead of letting this fear and unknown paralyse us, ACTT has invited a panel of experts to address this topic and answer your questions.
