HOW YOU CAN CONTINUE TO MAKE AN IMPACT

In our last newsletter, we told you the story of Maria, from Kulugia primary school in rural Timor-Leste. The school is unsafe and urgently needs to be rebuilt. She shared:

“I am sad about the condition of this damaged school. If it rains and storms we can’t go to school. I am asking AMS to improve our school, so it doesn’t hinder the learning process in the future.”

Thank you to all our wonderful supporters that generously donated to Maria’s school. We have so far raised $29k towards rebuilding the school.

The best way to support Maria and projects at AMS is to become a monthly giver. Please can you give $59 a month to help young people access education across Asia and the Pacific.

It’s quick and simple to become a monthly giver - but your support makes a huge difference to the young people we work with.

My name is Adam Burns, I’m the Communications and Engagement Officer at AMSand the voice behind Solidarity Matters! I came on board with AMS last August. I previously worked as a Regional Coordinator in Marist Youth Ministry, and attended a Marist school (Trinity College, Beenleigh).

I’ve also been a regular giver to AMS. I became a regular giver because of my personal experience going on immersion to Cambodia.

Seeing firsthand the difference education makes for young people on the margins left a strong impression on me.

I became a regular giver because I wanted to contribute to the good work AMS is involved in and to see even more young people have access to life-changing education.
