Interfaith Breakfast
The ACFID Conference Interfaith Breakfast is an opportunity to network and "break bread" with likeminded people whose faith drives their pursuit of our shared international aid, development and humanitarian goals. Over breakfast we will reflect on resilience and solidarity with Sureka Goringe (National Director, UnitingWorld) and Chey Mattner (Director, Church Agency Network) as well as readings and prayers from other faith-based NGO's within the ACFID community.
