Country Hope is a country based family centred support organisation for children diagnosed with cancer and other life threatening illnesses.
Staff at Wagga Mutual have been working in close partnership with Country Hope and recently hosted a gift appeal in support of Country Hope’s Kids Christmas Party.
The appeal saw locals drop off well over 100 gifts at the local Wagga, Collamon and Ganmain branches for the Children’s Christmas party, which show cases the true sprit of locals in the Wagga & Riverina area.

Water, harvesting and alternative garden construction projects in indigenous communities
Overview:
Volunteers will travel to indigenous villages to assess and solve water shortage and unsustainable natural resources management issues, focusing on the design, construction, and installation of rainwater collection systems and vegetable gardens. The long term goal is to increase the quality of life throughout 27 villages across the Yasawa Island chain. Many of these villages experience severe water shortages, especially during the dry season, only cultivate root vegetables and have few sources of income. The project is run in partnership with local communities and The Yasawa Trust Foundation, who aim to improve the provision of basic needs in the Yasawa Islands. Based out of an idyllic beachside field camp, volunteers will be able to dive, snorkel, become immersed in Fijian culture, and explore other island chains on the weekend. Read more…
