The Shenton College Stella Berry Scholarship
Stella was a proud Shenton College student who passed away earlier this year. Stella won the hearts of friends and staff with her adventurous spirit and her ambition to find her place in the world through travel and study. She was a passionate student of literature, visual arts, and languages and touched everyone she met with her bold optimism and joy in life. We remember her as a warm and engaged presence in class, as a great friend and as a strong joyful young woman. Through this scholarship we remember Stella and will provide support for another young person to fulfil their ambition for adventure and learning. Awarded annually, the recipient of the Stella Berry Scholarship will receive a college-sponsored homestay cultural immersion program in France to the value of $5,000. The decision to establish the Stella Berry Scholarship has been made with Stella’s family and supported by our P&C. We invite donations to support this scholarship (Note: donations are not tax deductible).

SUMATRA COVID19 FOOD PACKAGES
Bukit Lawang is an incredible community in Sumatra, Indonesia which relies heavily on tourism. Unfortunately now, because of Covid-19 restrictions, the airport and national park is closed and the tourist industry has collapsed. With no crisis income support available, this has left people with no income, unable to provide for their families. This is an incredibly supportive community who rally together, but they need our help to get through this pandemic. The Jungle Soccer program, CareSumatra and Komorebi Foundation have teamed up to provide food packages for orphans and the elderly who do not have any support system to make it through this time. A food package of 5kgs of rice, 1 litre of oil and 36 eggs will feed a family for over 1 week for just £5.50 (GBP)/ $7 (US) / $10 (AUD). There are over 100 families who house orphans and the elderly, who need our help. Please consider donating whatever amount you can afford and share this with your family and friends.

Save Our St Andrews - Strathalbyn
St Andrews Strathalbyn (1848) is the oldest remaining Presbyterian church building in South Australia, now a Uniting Church. (The first two in Adelaide have since been demolished.) Built in Scottish-Gothic style, the church is State Heritage listed 10918. St Andrews is an icon of the town, its Clock Tower and Spire featuring in the town logo, used by the Strathalbyn Tourist Association and many others. 174 years of weather and time have necessitated extensive restoration work. We have already raised over $150,000 for repair of cracking masonry on the front Spire, work we hope can start in January 2023. Our next fundraising targets are: $200,000 to repair the Roof & Gutters, to prevent water damage to walls & ceiling; $300,000 to repair masonry on the Clock Tower and renew the clock mechanism and faces. Hence a total of $500,000 for the most urgent work. We are most grateful for all contributions. Do email david@davidbunton.com if you wish to have a receipt.
