Tamil Christmas Appeal 9am-4pm Monday 25 December. Tamil Voice is holding their annual Radiothon on Christmas Day, to raise funds for disadvantaged Victorian Tamil students in need for Higher Education. Students who are in pending visa approval such as humanitarian or refugee visas do not have any support for education even if they had high VCE results for further studies. Victorian Tamil Association with the 3CR support are running this special Christmas radiothon.

This year’s artwork is once again by First Nations artist, Renay Barker-Mulholland.
ID: A digital collage, with Renay, a First Nations woman, laying back on her power wheelchair as the central figure inside a bottle, inside a monolithic rock. On top there is an old, yellowed lightbulb and eyes dotted around the figure. There is a hand on each side of the image, and going vertically down, in black text on tiles the word, Sick and above it a black graphic crown. On the right hand side the same style and the word sovereign, with a black snake above the hand. A bright yellow light hovers just above Renay's solar plexus.
