The Gap SHS Vietnam Community Project Fundraising 

In November this year, a group of students from The Gap State High School are attending an expedition to Vietnam with World Challenge. A key component of the expedition is engaging in a community infrastructure initiative, assisting the village community in the Hoa Bing province. Depending on the priority at the time, the students might be laying new paving, painting, planting or refurbing the school or community centre. 

 

Students are fundraising to purchase materials for the community initiative. We are running a fundraising raffle and are seeking the support of local businesses to donate prizes for the raffle. Any contributions would be greatly appreciated; however, we do request that any donations are non-perishable (e.g. vouchers), as we are running the raffle over a number of months.      

 

After prizes have been donated, we will be selling tickets to the school community and then drawing the winners in early November. We will include the names of donating businesses on our raffle poster and other raffle promotion.

 

If you are interested in donating or have further questions, please contact Ben Rothwell on 3511 3888 or appadventures@thegapshs.eq.edu.au.
