Marco and Kazushi at the Exchange Student Training Weekend


On Sunday 6th August our exchange students Marco and Kazushi were with other district exchange students at Springwood. They both gave great talks and were reported as being the life and soul of the party!


And this weekend Ruth took the boys and other students to see Sydney Swans beat Gold Coast 114-90.

REQUEST TO DONATE OLD SMARTPHONES AND CHARGERS


We are collecting your old smartphone handsets and chargers for Sri Lanka's underprivileged families throughout August and September.

Contact BarnesAmanda.2016@gmail.com

The Kathleen Keegel Children's Fund (KKCF) is an Australian-based charitable organization working to help the underprivileged in Sri Lanka.

https://kkcfund.wordpress.com/

https://www.facebook.com/keegel01?mibextid=LQQJ4d

Their vision is to promote the welfare of the poor and to relieve distress, suffering and poverty. Since 2004, they have helped many with education including an Agricultural Training Project and a Preschool. In addition, they managed a Children's Home, which cared for 45 children over 10 years along with helping many who have approached them for financial assistance. 

KKCF are seeking donations of preloved mobile phones to send to Sri Lanka in the coming months. These have become essential for children to study as IT is a part of their school curriculum and Students are disadvantaged without them.

Your donation of used mobile phones will help underprivileged children in Sri Lanka with their online studies and will be greatly appreciated. The families can't afford to buy phones for everyone and usually share one phone amongst themselves.
