Community Spirit 

Emilia Pountney Year 7 has been involved in several initiatives to raise money for Currumbin Wildlife Hospital. Most recently Emilia is working with Molly Wright – the youngest person to present a TED talk at aged seven, and 40 other Gold Coast children in a variety of challenges and events across the coast to raise money.  With a target of $10,000, if the group reach that goal, Mindaroo will kindly match this, dollar for dollar.  

Be sure to support this great cause by donating to www.justgiving.com/fundraising/mollyswarriors. Donations contribute to helping wildlife at Currumbin Wildlife Hospital, giving them a fighting chance of survival so that can be released into the wild. 

Every little helps – the average cost to rescue, treat and rehabilitate a koala is $7000.
