Mercy Ships
 
Supporting Mercy Ships has been our primary international focus in 2018-19 with the help of Canberra Hospital nurse, Danniele Hunter.  We have fund raised for Mercy Ships and and assisted Danniele to volunteer.  In return, Danniele has spoken at several of our events.  Mercy Ships is one of the great stories of our time.  Look here for more information.
 

Literacy Program and Clean Water at St Peter Claver Primary School, Chishawasha, Zimbabwe

Woden Daybreak has partnered with the Rotary Club of Harare Dawn to assist a rural school in Zimbabwe to implement a literacy program specifically designed for Zimbabwean students.  Parents, teachers and the community are strongly supporting the program.  Woden Daybreak has also provided funding to set up a second bore hole for the school and community, to ensure an adequate supply of clean water.  The photo shows community celebrations on the day the bore hole was commissioned.
