In response, one of the things her grandmother Susan mentioned was the Sky Hydrant, which she had seen presented at one of our events at Auburn Bowls Club. Gabby who is 10, attends Carey Grammar School: she was so moved by this that she approached her teacher and asked if she could make a presentation on clean water at a Junior School Assembly, and try to raise some funds.

 

In due course this was approved and when Geoff heard about it, he asked Gabby if she would like him to ask if Disaster Aid would assist. Gabby agreed to this and Brian Ashton, one of the Directors of Disaster Aid advised that he would be happy to help. The presentation took place on August 9^th, with Gabby making introductory remarks about the plight of communities without clean water, followed by Brian making a Powerpoint presentation and showing a Sky Hydrant.

 

Gabby then explained that she planned to raise money for Rotary and Disaster Aid through students paying $2.00 to guess the number of lollies in a jar, with the closest winning the jar, and this took place over the following two weeks. Gabby raised $238.00 for Disaster Aid, which Geoff and Susan will round up to $300.

 

Well done, the Wright family. Obviously, the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.
