"The Manly-Manado community partnership is a beacon to all of us in Manly on what is truly important and what can be achieved when we work together."
Mike Baird MP, State Member for Manly
Great Run Lisa
Thursday, November 20, 2008
On Sunday 21st September, Lisa Eustace from Manly competed in the Blackmores half marathon event held in the Sydney CBD. It was a warm day, but that did not stop Lisa from completing the course.
Before the event, Lisa raised about $600 in sponsorship and has donated these sponsorship funds to Manly-Manado’s partner Bridge of Hope in Manado , to assist in helping families out of poverty in Manado via micro loans.
Thanks Lisa and Well Run!
22kms north of Manado's centre is a fishing village called Bahowo Tongkeina, a town with not enough fish or productive agricultural land to support the local community. Read about the Silo Group, a group of 14 women who belong to one of Bridge of Hope's micro-enterprise loan groups, who have used their loans to invest in different businesses, support their children in their studies and support their family's needs.
