Last Weeks Speaker Elizabeth Lodge
Last week we had the pleasure of Elizabeth Lodge from Evolve speak at our meeting as Desiree Pettit was unable to attend. Elizabeth spoke about the opportunities they offered young children so they could make positive changes in their lives
challenging the disadvantaged and at risk young Victorians with a 100km hike and pioneer style living, while at the same time teaching them life skills such as effective communication and anger management. How they also apply Narrative and Bush Therapy practices to allow the young people to take control of their lives and their futures. http://www.evolve.org.au/
Elizabeth was most interesting and informative and we would like to thank her for attending our meeting and giving such a great presentation.

Eritrean Refugee School Project
Eritrean Australian Humanitarian Aid (EAHA) is pleased to announce that the container of school supplies is finally on its way to Sudan. Despite a number of unexpected delays, we are happy to report that a large 40-ft container jam-packed full of school furniture, books, computers, sports equipment and other school supplies is on its way. The container itself has been donated to the project courtesy of Mount Scopus Memorial College, and will be used as a converted library when it arrives at Wadsherifay refugee camp.
One of EAHA's members and co-founder, Mr Anwar Alishek, left for Sudan in late December and has started work on the repair of school buildings, using funds donated to the project to purchase building material. A report and photos of the repairs will be sent in the next update. Another EAHA member and co-founder, Mr Berhan Jaber, left for Sudan this week (also self-funded!) and will meet the container at Port Sudan at the beginning of March and oversee its transportation and distribution at the schools.
Both Anwar and Berhan were featured in an article in The Age on 31 December about the project ("Refugees reach out
from afar to aid their homeland" - http://www.theage.com.au/national/refugees-reach-out-from-afar-to-aid-their-homeland-20101230-19b5e.html)
We will be sending another update once the container reaches its destination. In the meantime,we would like to thank you again for your support.
