Strengthening Global Connects – Kopanang Connect Mother’s Day Raffle

The aim of the HSIE Co-curricula Santa Kopanang Connect is to inspire students to work within the space of a social enterprise to lead ethical possibilities into community advocacy and future focused global action. Students wanted to give the women of Kopanang a special personalised item considered a luxury such as soap on Mother’s Day. The strategy to raise money was a Mother’s Day Raffle. Thank you to Sister Sheila who donated the prize for the Mother’s Day Raffle. The prize was a hand embroidered framed picture valued at $150.

A huge CONGRATULATIONS to Lorelai Chung from Year 7 who won the draw at Assembly on 30 April. This project raised $494 for the women of Kopanang. Thank you to the Santa Sabina community for their generosity in supporting this global social justice initiative.

Student Reflections

The Kopanang Connect Mothers Day Raffle prize was a beautiful embroidery made by the women in Kopanang, with a heartfelt message on the back. We thoroughly enjoyed the organisation and ticket selling process, and experienced so much kindness with a large amount of donations and ticket sales. All profits went to the women in Kopanang and this Raffle had an amazing turn out!
