Run for Membantu
Creating awareness and financial support for underprivileged young people in Bali.
Over the past 14 years, the school community has used the Run for Membantu to raise over $300,000, all of which has gone directly to providing physical resources and supporting much-needed infrastructure development in the areas of education, health, and housing.
Through word of mouth, online sponsorship, sausage sizzles, cake sales, wristband sales, courageous hair and beard clipping and creative personal efforts of students, the Run for Membantu managed to raise a further $30,086 in 2023, all of which is going towards helping young people in Indonesia. This effort is truly outstanding and is a testament to the selflessness and love within the community, prioritising the needs of others during this difficult time.
