FREE LECTURE: Public Talk

Come and be inspired by Gemma Sisia, who at the end of her degree in Education fulfilled a long held desire to help the poor in Africa, and travelled to Uganda to work for three years as a volunteer. This experience lead to her passionate belief that free yet high quality education should be the right of all children in the world as education is the strongest weapon in the fight against poverty, corruption and political instability. In 2002 The School of St Jude opened with only a handful of sponsored children. With hard work and determination, the school has exploded to over 1300 children (on three campuses) all of whom are given a free education through sponsorship from individuals, families, clubs and schools from around Australia and abroad. The school also gives employment to over 350 local Tanzanian staff including 3 sets of local Headmasters and their academic teams who now run each school.
