Update
11/23/2005 - AHF distributes $4,500.00 in Disaster Relief
Funds to Transylvania. The AHF Disaster Relief Fund targets Hungarian
disaster victims, currently those affected by hurricane Katrina and Transylvania
flooding. Overall, the fund has taken in $6,500.00. The $4500.00 was distributed
to Székelyudvarhely Mayor Szász Jeno on November 5th. A
week earlier, AHF distributed funds to Judith Petho of the Arpadhon (Albany,
LA) Hungarian Settlement Historical Society (HSHS). Julia Bika of the
Louisiana Hungarians, who also suffered the wrath of Katrina, represented
AHF as our liaison to HSHS.
Donations were received from as far away as Australia. Special thanks
must be given to San Diego’s House of Hungary who collected $2500.00.
AHF also thanks other organizations involved in the relief effort. The
Minnesota Hungarians collected $1300.00. The Hungarian Knights of St.
John (Johannita Rend) another $300.00. And there are many more stories
like this. On October 8th in East Brunswick, New Jersey, the AHF
Gala Dinner to support Hungarian Schools in the Csango Regions of
Transylvania raised $15,000.00.
