The Heat Beads® Hot Shoe Shufflers – Lee, Merilyn, Vanessa and Rob – shuffled over the finish line having raised over $18,000 for Oxfam.

We thank all our sponsors for your generous support of the Heat Beads® Hot Shoe Shufflers and Oxfam Australia Trailwalker.

Check out the massive difference your support will make to Oxfam Australia’s work to overcome poverty and injustice in over 26 countries around the world, including Indigenous Australia:

$35 can pay for materials to build a public well in Sri Lanka, providing fresh water for 20 to 30 families.
$40 can pay for a South African peer educator who uses song and theatre to help educate communities about preventing and living with HIV and AIDS.
$70 can provide a family in Laos with access to clean, safe water from a ‘Gravity-Fed’ water system.
$100 can buy a bicycle. In Mozambique and Zimbabwe, volunteer carers use bikes to cover more distance and help more villagers in a fraction of the time it would normally take.
$1500 can buy a well for a school and help improve the health and education for hundreds of children.

If you’d like to continue to support Oxfam, you can donate or get involved at www.oxfam.org.au

Final total:
$18000.000
