Our Project

We are fundraising on behalf of Child Wise for 12 months beginning Dec 2010. Our goal is to reach a target of $10,000 through various fundraising projects which includes, but not limited to: a chocolate drive, ebay auctions, a fun run and trash and treasure market stall. Further information about these projects will be posted in the events calendar of our website throughout the year.


All funds raised through these projects and events will go directly to Child Wise to help them continue their work. Below is a list of some of the projects that Child Wise are currently implementing.
