In addition to the above donations, a number of councils including Marrickville, Leichhardt, Ryde and City of Sydney have also conducted their own community and/or staff fundraising.
To express the gratitude of the Australian-Pakistani community, PEACC will be sending letters of thanks to all councils for their generosity. Together with its supporting organisation, PEACC is also planning on organising a "Thank You Australia" event on Sunday February 19th 2006 to thank everyone for their support of this worthy cause. Further details of this event will be made public at a later date.
