Hello world!

Early in term three we decided to be more involved in our global community. We have been looking at several charities and how we might be able to support those in need.

We have decided to use our classroom rewards system to help us help others – we are hoping to donate a goat once or twice a term to help out a community in need. Thanks to JT for a great illustration!

The following information excerpt is taken from the Oxfam website regarding the benefits of donating a goat:

Goats can play a key role in the livelihoods of rural communities. They feed on household waste — so they get rid of rubbish and unwanted scraps — and provide milk and manure as a bonus. As part of Oxfam Australia’s commitment to environmentally-sound programs, goats are distributed to vulnerable families because they are easy to raise and take care of. We also provide training in keeping, vaccinating and de-worming the animals.

We are proud to be supporting a community less fortunate than our own! Watch this space for updates on our progress!
