The Northern Territory communities have decided NOT to do the Debutant Balls due to cultural beliefs. HOWEVER! Instead they will be using our gowns for a school graduation ball circa September and October instead.
The girls all know the gowns are there for them IF they pass their exams. For young girls who literally have near nothing, these gowns are priceless to them so they are all working very hard at school to graduate. Even the younger girls can't wait to finish school but they must have an excellent attendance record as well. When I was at school, if I passed my exams I would get one present and it inspired me to do well......Encouragement was all these kids needed. We aim to help our donors as much as possible with cheap and or free freight across Australia.
Cowra Freight has been an awesome major sponsor of freight for going on 3 years now and have depots in other towns with other businesses and freight companies. If you live near these depots in these towns then you can drop your donations off to us there and Cowra Freight will deliver to us free of charge. Call Therese Browne on 02 63 425719 before you drop it off. Place our address on a large piece of paper and stick it to your box and deliver it to these addresses. If the donation is under 10kgs then please post at Australia Post. Cowra Freight C/o Silver Band Logistics Unit 207 - 211 NEWTON ROAD Wetherill Park NSW FREE FREIGHT FROM DUBBO NSW Cowra Freight Depot at Western Plains Storage Corner of Jennali & Narromine Streets Dubbo NSW Cowra Freight also have depots in the following towns for FREE freight.

A.C.T RESIDENTS Call Therese Browne at Cowra Freight in Cowra on 02 63 425719 Ask if they can pick up your donations for us. It will cost you around $9.00 to $12.00 per a tea-chest box to deliver to us. (several hundreds of dollars with Australia Post) Metro delivers to Cowra Freight Depot in Young and then Cowra Freight deliver to us in Cowra for free. This week we delivered via Cowra Freight, 9 beautiful baby packs (deceased, preemie, newborn) to Dubbo Base Hospital. We received 30 very large boxes and bags (28 free of charge per freight via Cowra Freight) of donations by some very incredible women who regularly donate in huge amounts. We call it "Shopaholics Anonymous" drop off point. Ha! But seriously, these women are the most incredible fun loving, kind, compassionate, charitable, empathatic, generous women I have ever seen in my life. They never ask "how many", by the time I post on Facebook as to what we need, they are down the shops looking for it on grand scale proportions. Karina Tomlinson, Julie Duncan, Megan Jones, Bronwyn Barratt, and very special recognition to Mr Guy Jones, Katherine Smail & the 4th Hoppers Crossing Brownies (VIC) who are also huge fans, helpers, donors and supporters of ours. Currently we have 10 boxes to send to the NT and probably about another 25 to go when we raise circa $5,000. Feel free to join our supporters page on Facebook to ask questions as well from the current shopaholics. Or call me on 0400 451 098 for any questions if not on Facebook. Alternatively you can email me as well. https://www.facebook.com/groups/supporterstheaustralianotbackbabyproject/?ref=bookmarks Our new packs below. None of the photos come up as nice as the packs really are in real life. The colours are very rich and stunning. |
