Our latest news:
- emberin is very pleased to announce that we have partnered with The Smith Family to support them in unlocking opportunities for disadvantaged families to participate more fully in society. There are over 670,000 kids living in financial disadvantage in Australia today, resulting in parents being unable to afford their child’s school excursions or to buy the proper uniform, increasing the chances of feeling different and not fitting in and belonging. This may reduce their motivation to participate in and engage with their education, and with fewer qualifications or aspirations they could become part of an ongoing cycle of disadvantage, passed from generation to generation. emberin will be donating a percentage of proceeds from our programs to the work of the Smith Family and would like to encourage you to look at The Smith Family’s website or call 1800 996677 to find out more about volunteering, mentoring or supporting a child through a scholarship, for under $1 a day, it might be part of your learning journey.
- This month, another 270 ladies were inducted into the Inspiring Women program run by Queensland’s Public Service Commission. The ladies will use emberin’s my mentor program as well as connect via teleconferences, facebook and weekly newsletters. We hope the ladies all enjoy their journey! Ladies at PricewaterhouseCoopers, Fosters Group and Austrade (Europe and Middle East) have also launched their journeys.
