We are honoured to add - The Fred Hollows Foundation, to the list of the charities and causes we support. I remember years ago when I volunteered in East Timor seeing many international aid organisations. There were literally rows of organisations and amongst the worlds biggest humanitarian crusaders was a little run down AUSTRALIAN office/surgery- The Fred Hollows foundation.
It still brings tears to my eyes. Proud to be an Australian. I am here to tell you they are creating miracles all over the world. A majority of their work is actually with the indigenous Australians.Thank you to all the team at the foundation, Fred must be so proud!
