Contain A Project - Fundraiser for Vanuatu Schools
The Contain A Project is an independent fundraising project by Jan and Neil Dixon, which was conceived after a recent trip to Vanuatu. Upon visiting a local school Jan and Neil were struck by the lack of resources that both the children and the teachers have. When returning home they began to reach out to local schools to see what the availability of second-hand school resources might be - desks, chairs - anything really. It turned out there is a large amount of used school supplies that end up in landfill, that are perfectly usable for varying reasons. Jan and Neil have coordinated an effort to send a full Container to Vanuatu of these school supplies donated. While everything so far has been donated, the shipping costs to Vanuatu are significant, and care must be taken to provide no-waste items (as they have to pay to export all their rubbish off the island). There are a few fundraising events where you can support the project, or we welcome your contribution.

St Marks Junior Disco
St Marks junior Disco will be raising money for the ALWS refugee resettlement program. It takes $10,000-$15,000 to support a refugee family for 12 months. This money will help secure the family a rental, basic living needs and food while the refugee/s search for a job and develop their English skills. For clarity, the refugee/s are entirely dependent on the community until their Centrelink payments kick in and they start earning money. This financial commitment will vary depending on the size of the family, and their health needs. Your fundraising will help relieve some of the financial stress that a local community might have in coming up with this money. Often, raising this large sum of money is the biggest barrier for a community getting involved in the first place, so your help will help mobilise passionate communities to sign up. It is also a beautiful display of unity across our Lutheran churches.
Join Hands for Katherine's Farewell & Her Boys' Future
I'm deeply saddened to share that my sister recently passed away. She suffered a brain hemorrhage, which is a sudden and severe bleeding in the brain that can be fatal. Despite receiving medical attention, she unfortunately succumbed to her condition. Katherine was a beacon of warmth and kindness, a gentle soul whose laughter could light up even the darkest of days. Her love knew no bounds, extending effortlessly to her two precious boys, who were the very center of her world. She cared about others as well. Katherine decided to become an organ donor and through her process Katherine gave life to at least 7 recipients. The ultimate gift in life is to give life and she did that for so many . As we navigate the stormy seas of grief and loss, let us also come together to honor Katherine's memory in a way that reflects the beauty of her spirit by donating fund to cater for her kids future. Thank you for your support, your kindness, and your unwavering commitment to helping those in need.
