Hi There! My name is Lara and this year I am driving from Canberra to Darwin (5000kms) in my 1988 Toyota Corolla to travel and volunteer my way around this sunburnt country. For the entirety of my journey I will offer to send a postcard from anywhere I visit, or of a theme (such as the beach, reptiles, cheese - anything!), to anyone who wishes to donate to Shelterbox. Hence I have named my fundraiser "From Letterboxes to Shelterboxes" Those who wish to participate can request a postcard via my website (address below). My request is that once they receive their postcard, they make a minimum donation of the average cost of a postcard and stamp - AUD$1.60 for Australia or AUD$2.60 for overseas donors. I would LOVE it if you got involved and I got to send a postcard out to you! Or you could request to have one sent to a friend on your behalf (to anywhere in Australia, or the world). If you have any questions or queries, please feel free to drop me a line: [email protected] I have a website: http://letterboxshelterbox.wordpress.com/ Facebook page: From Letterboxes To Shelterboxes Twitter feed: @lettertoshelter And now a video! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DwuDqadgMJ4 My friend and I just finished producing it - after 2 weeks and a heroic 12-hour stint on the last day, it is now live! Filmed on location in Canberra. It was great fun! Most of all please pass this onto anyone you know who would be interested in getting involved. I find that social media is a highly effective (and free) publicity tool, so even sharing this on your Facebook page would be ace. Thanks for reading, and I hope to be writing you a postcard soon! Cheers, Lara Marks-Nash Do you know someone who could be our next Guest Speaker? We are still looking for people to be guest speakers at our meetings. If you know someone who might be suitable, please let Tim Brown know via email [email protected]

Around the world, 1.2 billion people live in extreme poverty. That means they live on less than $2 per day the Australian equivalent of the extreme poverty line. That's just $2 per day for all their food and drink, living expenses, medical expenses, and education. It's hardly living. From May 7th to 11th Elise will spend just $2 a day on food and drink to raise awareness and money to help those living in extreme poverty.
