"Our Milestones"

-10th February 2009, a very successful meeting was organised by YHAF and Geoff Provost (NSW Member), to bring together the major services such as Housing, Police, Tweed Shire Council,  etc. to look at ways of supporting those requiring assistance and in particular a local "community centre" and more affordable housing.
 
-26th January 2009, Caitlin McGibbon-Goodie was selected as Tweed Head's YOUNG ACHIEVER IN COMMUNITY SERVICES
AUSTRALIA DAY AWARD WINNER. Largely for the work she performs for our charity.

-18th October 2008, we held a most successful Gulu Walk - supporting the displaced children in Uganda. Emma and Caitlin (our "youth" volunteers) raised over $1,000 and produced a very successful walk

-On 12th October 2008, we started supporting our friends with "brekkie" in Coolangatta. It was a great success and our team who support and work with us did a great job with over 30 friends turning up for a feed and a chat. A great success and one we will not abandon in a hurry.

- On 13-14th August, Lara Davenport wins GOLD at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, being part of the world record breaking, Australian Women's Individual Freestyle Relay team - CONGRATULATIONS LARA

-Lara Davenport, who will swim for Australia in the upcoming Olympics, joins our "you Have A Friend" group and attends "brekkie" at Murwillumbah on 13th July. Then Lara attends an outreach at Coolangatta on Saturday night 19th July and provides great fun and enjoyment to our friends and volunteers alike.

-Murwillumbah begins the 1st "Brekkie" at Budd Park on Sunday 6th July. Now we are currently providing a service 3 times a week to Murwillumbah and the community is fast getting behind us, which is most welcome. Number are averaging 12 - 15 and growing fast.

-We start "BBQ lunch" in Murwillumbah on 8th May 2008. Lunch is to be offered in conjunction with the Community Center - Knox Park, each Thursday from around 11.30. The numbers quickly swell to average around 30 - 50 persons each week. We also start a fun "footie" game
each Thursday for anyone interested and great fun is had by all while waiting for the sausages to cook.

-You Have a friend was registered as a charity on 1st May 2008

A Collection of African Proverbs

Do good because of tomorrow

The earth moves at different speeds depending on who you are.

When the elephants fight it is the grass that suffers

The path is made by walking

Smooth seas do not make skillful sailors.

He who forgives ends the argument
