Charles Sturt University (CSU) will host one of two forums in Albury on Wednesday 20 June looking at whether Australia is making a difference with its international aid programs. Organised by the international World Vision charity, four speakers closely involved with overseas aid projects will address the successes and challenges of working with the world’s poor as they face hunger, malnutrition and disease, and how the Australian government’s $5.2 billion aid budget for 2012/13 could best be spent. CSU will host a daytime event between 1-2pm for school students and the public in the CD Blake Lecture Theatre on the University’s Albury-Wodonga Campus at Thurgoona, while a second evening event for the Border community will be staged in the Albury Entertainment Centre, Swift Street, Albury.
