Some of the children from Bethlehem Community Centre.
East Africa Fundraising Success!
Thankyou to everyone who supported the fundraiser for East Africa. I am thrilled to announce we raised $2025 towards this amazing cause. As we said at the breakfast we are supporting two charities. The first is the Bethlehem Community Centre which provides homes for orphans in Kenya. The money will go directly to these children and will help to feed them as the cost of food keeps rising due to the drought. If you would like to become a regular supporter of the children in these orphanages please email Christine Bennett, bandc@netspace.net.au.
The second organisation which we are supporting is UNHCR Australia which helps to provide emergency relief and assistance for refugees who have been displaced by conflict and violence. If you would like to make a further donation to UNHCR please visit their website http://www.unrefugees.org.au

We all know the benefits of Pilates and how amazing it is for toning and shaping our bodies but unfortunately if your goal is to lose weight you need to incorporate some cardio training into your schedule. I have had a lot of people ask me about this recently and I have come up with the perfect solution.
