2012

As we head towards the end of an extremely busy 2012 school year Humanitus would like to express their heartfelt gratitude once again to the PYP network for their very generous donation of $5000 this year which will help continued support of the Mkak Primary School and their wider community.

On Friday 31st August Jeffrey Richards and Sally Cordner were invited to the Junior School Malvern Campus of Caulfield Grammar for their assembly. Both were aware that the students had been involved in some fund raising activities however, there was an air of secrecy about it. With great anticipation, Jeffrey and Sally took their seats in front of all the students from Prep to Year 6 and waited for a very special moment to arrive.

During a recent visit to Lontung School on Samosir Island in Sumatra, Humanitus Directors were delighted to find some very happy students and teachers.

Greetings from North Sumatra, Indonesia. Celine and I, on behalf of the schools Humanitus has assisted here would like to thank you all for your continued generous support. Every dollar that you have been able to contribute has been incredibly valuable to the underprivileged chidren here and in Cambodia.

Humanitus received some very inspiring news recently. The initiative of an 8 year old Melbourne student to help SE Asian children less fortunate than her has impressed us beyond words.

We are starting to get very excited about the outfitting of the new library at Mkak Primary School. This building will also house the Humanitus Centre for Learning and Development.

While settling into their first year at Monash, two passionate students are planning to cycle their way across Cambodia later this year to raise funds for children and families living in poverty.

In August 2012 Piseth Luon and Jeffrey Richards were invited to visit Footscray Primary School by the Principal, Mr Philip Fox.

In January this year (2012) I had the privilege of travelling to Cambodia to visit Mkak Primary School, a 70 kilometre journey from Siem Reap.
