OUR FUNDRAISER
Free Dress Friday.
Why?
Our group had the idea to raise money to assist the refugees and dcided that since most students love to come to school in free dress that they would be more than willing to participate by making a gold coin ($1 or $2) donation. Since this would involve approximately 300 students we sought permission from our school deputy principal and then promoted the cause.
For Which Organisation?
Our focus was for TEAR Australia(”TEAR Australia is a movement of Christians in Australia responding to the needs of poor communities around the world. Our motivation comes from our belief that God loves all people, and in Christ offers them the opportunity of a new life. We believe that God is just, and has particular care for the poor and those who suffer as victims of injustice. “
TEAR Australia is involved in partnerships with many third world countries and help assist and implement projects with a view to helping break poverty, oppressed and refugees to build a more secure future.) as we believe in their mission and the assistance provide to a lot of countries in the world.
Result?
Another group, in our class who were also looking for ways to fundraised joined in on our Free Dress Day and combined we raised $435.90, hence each group split the money equally for a total of $217.95.
What can the funds purchase?
· Goat x 3
· Organic Vegetable Garden
· Where Needed Most
· Fish Farming x 4
Total of Assistance
Our reason for the above purchases.
We got selected these items because they will be useful to the refugees. Like the goat it will provide milk, cheese and also meet and they will be able to breed from them. Just as fish farming will provide and income and sustainable food with the Vegetable garden and it is friendly to the environment.
