City to Surf 2011

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.

The chidren's home in Medan continues to
provide much needed love and care for
needy children. To assist the home in
providing these services we have recognised
the need to acquire transportation. To date
we have accumulated funds of almost AUD
$10,500.00 and a further AUD$6,500 is
needed to purchase the van and install extra
seat belts. The van we will purchase is
a Daihatsu Gran Max that will seat 10 children
with seat belts. Hiring transport has added
considerably to our monthly budget for
transportation (school, extra lessons, outings,
Sunday School, visits to the doctor,
purchasing supplies, etc), and we are often
concerned about the safety of the children.
