The School of St Jude's philosophy of Fighting Poverty through Education is what attracted me to help. I love to be a small part of such a successful programme and will continue to try and help.

It is so easy to get so wrapped up in the day-to-day aspects of working and bringing up a family in Sydney, when in a country like Tanzania most people are struggling to feed theirs. The school is a great nurturing environment for a very lucky group of children selected out of extreme poverty. Hopefully these children will create a cultural change for their country that will see it rise into a proud and successful Nation.
