In 2011 Sydney Lawns and Gardens will again be partering with Homes of Hope International to raise much needed funds for children in the third world.
 This year  Sydney Lawns and Gardens and Homes of Hope International have a team of 40 people running in the City to Surf to raise money for the Medan Childrens Home. We intend to raise enough money to buy a Van for the children to get to school. Below is an excerpt from the HOHI website.

• We have hundreds of satisfied customers.  The ultimate goal of our work is to construct or maintain a fabulous garden that both you and your family can enjoy. We have been able to do exactly this for hundreds of customers over many years, often receiving letters and emails of fantastic feedback.

Sydney Lawns and Gardens has recently partnered with a local Sydney charity to set up a new children's home in Surabaya Indonesia. Homes of Hope International (HOHI) has been working to save women and children at risk for many years and Sydney Lawns and Gardens is proud to be a part of one of their latest projects.

Nick Perkin, Director of Sydney Lawns and Gardens, has had a long association with Greg Beech, CEO of HOHI and in late 2008 Nick and Greg got together over coffee to plan the latest HOHI orphanage in Surabaya.

Local charity tackling Indonesian poverty
Make a difference one child at a time
Local entrepreneur Nick Perkin, director of landscaping business Sydney Lawns and Gardens, was pondering the issue of how one person of limited resources could really have any impact on the horrendous problem of global child poverty.

“The problem just seemed so big and my influence so small,” says father-of-two Perkin. “But when I began talking with a locally-based charity I realised that for the cost of a daily newspaper I could literally save a child’s life.”

The article below is taken from a feature on www.industrysearch.com.au 4/03/2007 - Sydney Lawns and Gardens provides a thriving landscaping and garden maintenance service to 35 clients with around 177 jobs on the system at any one time. Since installing Nortech's JobManagerPro system, the owner of the business, Nick Perkins, owner of the business, has reaped many benefits including reduced costs and improved efficiency. The business requires multiple crews in the field to communicate data back to the office.
