"Some people are just born lucky.....
some are not."
The Henley team’s growth from its beginning in 1989 to being Victoria’s largest home builder by 1994 and Australia’s largest by 1998 was not luck – its new home designs and new levels of efficiency changed the home building industry...
The luck was being born healthy in a wealthy country.
In 1993 the team added a new approach to corporate philanthropy to change the luck of those less fortunate. The result is closing in on $16 million dollars to local and overseas charities... and now growing at over $1.5 million dollars annually
OXFAM TRAIL WALKER CHALLENGE
100KM, TEAMS OF 4, 48 HOURS
Two Henley staff members undertook the Oxfam 100km Trail walker challenge on April 16th and succeeded in a total time of 26:51mins and placing 40th out of 180 all female teams who participated.
Maria Vera and Jessica Jones were one half of the 4 person team who completed this grueling team challenge with their feet telling the true tale of 100km just walked.
The event beginning at Jells Park Ferntree Gully, winding through to Lysterfield lake up to Olinda and Woori Yallock and finishing up at the 100km mark of Wesburn Park - the track was not for the faint hearted. The training over 4 months put them in good stead to attempt the 100 km walk. The team set the task of raising $3000 to donate to the many global projects Oxfam offers assistance too and with the final tally being counted the total is getting close to $8,500. A terrific result!
Oxfam assists where assistance is most immediately and urgently needed. Their portfolio of charity work spreads far and wide from offering immediate response relief and rescue after the Haiti earthquake, medical help to HIV/aids children in Africa, assisting with providing sanitation and hygiene control, challenging human rights where inequality exists and so much more. As you can imagine such work requires significant support for it to continue.
Congratulations to all the Oxfam participants all 700 plus teams. A tremendous effort!
DANIEL DONDO
Our Kenyan Sponsorship student Daniel has now completed his 3rd and final year at RMIT. Since completing his studies Daniel has applied for a 4 year working Visa with Wesley Missions here in Melbourne. Wesley Missions provide a range of valuable services for children and young people in crisis, those who are experiencing homelessness and people with disabilities, just to name a few.
Since Daniel's association has begun with Wesley, Henley has jumped on board and is taking part in their 2009 Christmas food collection appeal. We are hoping our donation will help a family enjoy a Christmas they may not have had without Wesley's support.
Daniel has been a part of the Henley family for more than 3 years and has achieved not only brilliant academic results but has left behind him a string of community achievements for international students, trying to fit into a new culture at university. Congratulations on the completion of your studies Daniel. Henley would like to wish you all the very best for the future.
