Keeran’s turning 6!

Thank you to all our donors, we have met our fundraising goal.

Keeran is turning 6!!

This January 13th our first-born Keeran is turning 6! Time has flown by and he’ll be starting school next year. Over the years Amma (long time volunteer and now part time employee of Palmera) has explained to him what we do in Palmera to help people less fortunate than us. And people  we could have easily been if we weren’t lucky enough to migrate to Australia.

So Keeran decided that this year he doesn’t want any presents, especially with his birthday being so close Christmas. After seeing how hard Amma works for Palmera he instead this year wants to donate money to one of our projects. He chose the farming for life project as it had a picture of a man in the display, lol.

The Farming For Life project will work with 30 farmers and their families to teach them new practices and technologies so they can increase their yields by up to 50-60% and eventually be able stand on their own two feet. Palmera’s approach is about providing a hand up not a hand out.

So instead of a present this year we ask that you please make a small donation to Palmera using this page. We thank you for your generosity and are looking forward to celebrating the day with you.
