Mueller Secondary Students are down to the final week of fundraising for the World Vision Backpack Challenge happening this weekend Friday 17th-Sunday 19th August. At the moment we have raised around $4500, with around 70 students signed up to participate in the Backpack Challenge.
Proceeds go towards providing emergency food, shelter, clean water, healthcare, safe-spaces fro children and education for refugees and displaced persons in countries like Syria, South Sudan and Mynamar.
Students are packing a backpack, living out of it for a weekend and undertake a bunch of interactive challenges that highlight the plight of refugees and displaced persons in our world.
