National Volunteer Week #GiveHappyLiveHappy
Did you know? Research shows that volunteers live healthier and happier lives. Sustainable wellbeing comes not from money or consumerism, but from having meaningful happiness in our lives. Studies show intimate links between generosity and our immune systems. We now know that volunteering is not just good for our physical health, but for our psychological and emotional health too. Good news for the 100+ of you who volunteered with our projects in the last year. Let's keep giving happy and living happy.
Congrats to Halpin Financial Services The team at Halpin Financial Services has been busily fundraising to reach their $10K target for this year's Uganda projects. They held a great quiz night last week, with nearly 100 friends and family attending - and they smashed their target. Way to go Halpins!
Northern Opportunities scholarship applications now open
We announced our newest project, Northern Opportunities in our last edition. Here's an update:
Northern Opportunities is for secondary school students (Years 10-12) with financial need, demonstrated talent and commitment to education/career pathway. Scholarships awards are up to $1,000 per student, applicants will be encouraged to re-apply every 6 months if they continue to benefit from this support.
Corporate partners have ample opportunity to get involved by hosting scholarship award ceremonies, becoming mentors, and offering traineeship positions for the scholarship recipients. We're sure this will be an incredibly effective and rewarding experience.
