An Viet Foundation was a core part of the community since its formation in 1982. The foundation welcomed refugees to the area and helped them by providing help with local services and also with any other issues such as housing. #vietnamese #hackneyhistory #AVFAFinds
The community centre is set up with round dining tables and chairs with lamps hanging from the ceiling as decorations. There is a sign in the background displaying the words "An Viet Foundation Welcomes All The Guests" as well as decorative wall hangings.
