As we celebrate Australia Day we recognise the wonderful country we call home for its sense of belonging, freedom, unity, fair-go for all, and hope for our future.
We celebrate the generosity of Australians, which we experience so often here at Marist Solidarity.
We celebrate the positive changes this giving achieves for our brothers and sisters around the globe.
For instance, last Saturday, our partners in Timor-Leste held a ceremony to commemorate the opening of a new classroom building at Abafala Primary School, which has been made possible thanks to the generosity of our Australian supporters.
