The Illawarra Police Charity Ball on July 26 at the University of Wollongong will help raise vital funds to support young people at MCCI like Hasnaa.
Hasnaa was 14 years old when she came to Wollongong and met Bec and MCCI's youth team through Links to Learning and later Accelerate HER. Seven years later they are still in contact.
"Bec is an inspiration. She has been a mentor for me," Hasnaa said.
As part of MCCI's annual scholarship program, Hasnaa received an iPad, which will come in handy when she starts to study criminology at the University of Wollongong.
The ball will collect funds so that we can support more young people from refugee backgrounds as they pursue training and education.
Tickets are $150 and include a three-course meal, drinks and entertainment by the NSW Police Band.
