INFO FROM SOME OF OUR EVENTS IN 2010

(events are in chronological order starting with the most recent)
2010 Golf Day, 28 January, Concord Golf Club

A full field of golfers enjoyed a very pleasant day out at the picturesque Concord Golf Club. Playing conditions were wonderful and we adjourned for drinks and dinner back at the clubhouse. This day was especially memorable because at the dinner, President Lance Brooks was able to announce that we had crossed the $1M mark in terms of fundraising since Communities for Communities began back in 2002. It was great to be able to celebrate this achievement with our many supporters who had helped us to get there!

Another highlight was the fantastic presentation by Paralympian gold medallist, Kurt Fearnley who spoke about his journey to being an elite sportsman and also his recent conquest of the Kokoda Trail.

Tony Woods also told us about the success of the recent Immersion Trip to Rainbow Village in South Vietnam which included a record number of young people as participants.

We are very grateful to all of our sponsors on the day, our enthusiastic volunteers (including the Cancer Council volunteers) and all of the staff at Concord Golf Club who made sure we were well looked after and that the course was in top condition as always.  

Here are some shots from the day, with more to come...

Immersion Trip to Rainbow Village,  8 - 18 January 

In January 2010, 22 representatives of Communities for Communities travelled to Rach Gia to participate in the Rainbow Village project. The team worked with the local Habitat for Humanity team, members of the Rainbow Village community and the commercial contractor in the construction of the third block of 12 houses. The team was also fortunate to be present when five families were presented with their keys to houses in the second block of 12 which were worked on by the C4C team which visited in April 2009. All completed houses in the Rainbow Village project are now occupied.

The team forged stronger relationships with the Rainbow Village community through participating in a range of events held at the Catalyst Foundation School just up the road from the building site. This included a feast prepared by the local community following the presentation of six computers donated through the Emagine Foundation run by Dr Sam Prince and the big blow-up screen which featured at C4C carols' functions, which was kindly donated to Rainbow Village by Big Screen Productions and Adam Lever. The big screen is expected to be a focal point for future community activities having already started with Tom and Jerry cartoons and karaoke.

C4C has the opportunity to further strengthen our relationship with Habitat, Catalyst and the Rainbow Village community through the next planned visit in July 2010.
