Bairnsdale
Secondary College
Bairnsdale Secondary College students are involved
in the Child Labour Project which is part of I*EARN.
We are holding a sausage sizzle in Bairnsdale to
help raise money to buy schooling supplies such as pens, pencils, paper, textas
and coloured pencils. All of these donations will be going to the children
of East Timor to let them have a chance to go to schools and have an education.
There are local primary schools involved. Each of
the schools is collecting boxes of schooling equipment and for that we are
thankful.
Last year was a success and I'm proud to say that
this year is going to be as well.

With
supplies donated by Bairnsdale businesses we were able to raise $330 all of
which will be used to buy school supplies to be used by Sister Lourdes.
