The pre-construction of the School for Samoa, supported by Helensvale High School, has started.  The picture (by Bob Harrison) on the left shows 'Chief of Construction' and designer of the concept, Des La Rance with Al Sirovs at The Shed last Saturday.
 
The Samoa School Raffle will close this coming Saturday 29th April 2017.
 
Surfers Sunrise Rotary will build a school for disadvantaged kids in Samoa. Have you sold your tickets?  Or, if you prefer to buy on a secure website, see link below. Making a difference, that's what Rotary is all about. Our Club, Surfers Sunrise, will build a school for disadvantaged children in Samoa. We just need a few more dollars to raise the final funds, so we have organized a Raffle with a huge prize.
 
Only 500 tickets - Family Holiday in Fiji valued at AUS $4,522.  Closes 29th April 2017.

These tickets make a fantastic, quick and easy gift too. OK, Easter has just gone, but whom did you forget to buy an Easter Egg for?.  Would you help us to spread the message? Log on to Facebook, go to our club's page www.facebook.com/rcsurferssunrise and share the post. Come on, do it right now, before you forget!
 
Imagine how you would feel if you lived in a country where you couldn't afford to send your child to school? In Samoa there are many children who don't have the privilege our Aussie kids have of getting an education and creating a better life for themselves, as they live in extreme poverty. The Rotary Club of Surfers Sunrise, in conjunction with the Northern Gold Coast Collegiate of schools, will build a cyclone ratified school for the Samoa Victims Support Group to provide a place for these children to learn for free.
 
We have plenty of experience, with similar buildings erected in Thailand after the 2006 Tsunami, Samoa after the 2009 Tsunami and the House of Hope in Samoa in 2012.  All labour is provided pro bono, there are no commissions, wages etc. Crikey! The construction crew even pays for their own airfares and accommodation!
 
Thank you for all your help.
