As a Christian College, we believe in helping to shine the light and love of Jesus in disadvantaged communities around the world, and we have been given an exciting opportunity to assist Effective Aid International in building a High School in Myanmar. Hillcrest has been working in partnership with Effective Aid International for over 15 years, as they deliver quality education and facilities to impoverished children in refugee camps, orphanages and poverty-stricken villages along the border of Thailand and Myanmar (find out more at www.effectiveaid.org).
We are coordinating a College-wide Chocolate Fundraising drive, and our collective fundraising efforts will go a long way in helping to ensure these refugee children can receive an education.
Chocolate fundraising boxes will be distributed this week, to the oldest child in each Hillcrest family.
Each box of chocolates collects $60 in sales, and once your family has collected the money from your chocolate sales, please deposit the $60 via the Payit link: 2019 Myanmar Chocolate Fundraising by Friday, 3 April. (This link can also be found in the Community Zone under Online Payments).
Please do not send cash to the College for this fundraiser. Payment must be made through the Payit link so that we can accurately track all returned monies and maximise the donation to Effective Aid International. We are unable to accept any part of the box back as they are purchased as whole boxes and not individual packets. If the box is opened full payment of $60 must be made using the link above.
We would like to thank you in advance for your assistance in this very worthwhile project. If you would like further information, please view the Chocolate Fundraising letter that was emailed home to parents, or contact fundraising@hillcrest.qld.edu.au.
