This regime set the country back 50 years and the effects of this are widespread even today with more than 2 million people having died from starvation, overwork and executions, and those who survived suffer the effects of Post Traumatic Stress which is invariably passed on to their children. Our charity has no running costs in Australia which allows every cent to get to where it is needed.
