Stephen Bird Photography Fundraiser

Our incredibly talented committee member, Stephen Bird, has generously put together a fundraiser selling his photography prints. Each month, starting October 2021, he will be releasing another image at a special price with profits going to HPI as a donation towards furnishing the school dormitory in Kashekuro, Uganda.

This month's featured image comes from the Waterfall Way, near Dorrigo, NSW, Australia, and captures a peaceful, country scene complete with dappled sunlight, a scattering of trees, and lush grasses surrounding a waterhole. A new print will be uploaded at the beginning of each month on our socials and website so be sure to set a reminder, there is guaranteed to be something for everyone's taste.

Please help us spread the word of this fundraiser by sharing our social media and website posts on your local community page and to your friends & family. What a fantastic gift idea for Christmas!

Rotary Christmas Trailer Raffle.
Morayfield, QLD

We are thrilled to have been chosen to partner with the Rotary Club of Caboolture again this year in running their 2021 Christmas Trailer Raffle. Each year the Rotary Club put together an amazing prize pool and we get to share in the profits. As most of you know, this ONE raffle each year will pay for all of our 'mandatory' expenses like bank fees, audit fees, insurances etc. The success of this one fundraiser ensures we can continue to donate 100% of our donations for the rest of the year. A huge thanks to our amazing volunteers for filling the roster. Now all you need to do is GRAB YOUR TICKETS! HPI volunteers will be at Morayfield Shopping Centre (Suncorp & Target), 9am - 5pm Wednesdays & Saturdays until 11th December.

Volunteer Expressions of Interest.

We have another amazing opportunity over the summer school holidays to join forces with the Rotary Club of Glasshouse Mountains and volunteer at Australia Zoo as car parking attendants. This is a VERY worthwhile partnership.

Dates: 26th December - 7th January (TBC)
Time: 8am - 12noon
Line up a friend and send your expression of interest to Tony via email tony.long@humanitarianprojectsinc.com

EASY WAYS TO SUPPORT US TODAY

- Have an upcoming birthday? Hold a Birthday Fundraiser on facebook or simply ask your friends & family to make a donation in your name on our website in lieu of gifts.
- Hold a 'restrictions friendly' event. For some that will mean a gathering up to 20 in your home and others it means holding an online games night with mates who are in lockdown. Check out Kahoot.com for an easy online platform & 'charge' your friends a donation to play along.
- Save up your cans, bottles and glasses and return them to your nearest collection point. For QLD & WA that's Containers for Change Scheme ID C10053657 or NSW Return & Earn.

- Sponsor a boarder. For a one off donation of $360 you can sponsor a boarder for a whole school year.

That's all from me today. If you have any questions about anything in this newsletter please don't hesitate to contact me or any of the committee.
