hi there

i am in year 9 in geelong and working on a project at school based around bringing awareness about the issue of homelessness and poverty in australia and also especially in geelong. i am interested in your idea and, if you have progressed on your goal or if your goal has been achieved, would definitely be willing to volunteer to help =)

if you ever need a volunteer, email me =)
