.The case background

http://handsacrossthewater.org.au/history/

Hands Across the Water is an Australian, New Zealand and Thai charity that gives at­risk Thai children and their communities a helping hand. Projects are tailored to meet local communities’ needs – for the long term. As part of their fundraising, they provide shared experiences for supporters to engage in this work.

The beginning

In 2004, countless Thai children were left alone and homeless by the Boxing Day tsunami. Former police forensic specialist Peter Baines, working with the tsunami disaster victim identification team, was deeply touched by the number of children left homeless and alone by the natural disaster. He was inspired to establish an organisation that could make a real difference. In late 2005, a team of committed individuals with the desire to help others formed Hands Across the Water .

Why they are different: the following comes from the Hands Across the water website:

  •  Our care comes without conditions
  •  We don’t seek to impose a religion or belief system upon those we support
  •  We give children the chance to grow according to their own beliefs and traditions 
We’re small, but we do amazing work. We’re a team of committed individuals who have joined forces to donate our time and skills to help Thailand’s children and their communities.
  • 100% of donations goes to the kids and their communities. No donors’ money goes to administration in Australia. Or staff costs. Or marketing. Or fundraising. 
We help provide food shelter, education, accommodation and opportunities for several hundred Thai children and their communities. We’re committed to the kids and their communities for the long term. We build capacity – and opportunity – for the future. 
One of the ways we build capacity is by maintaining a focus on building sustainable projects. We have sown rice, planted crops and built educational and training facilities to ensure the long­term sustainability of the people and communities we support.
  • Steps towards sustainability: Our initiatives create employment and reduce recurrent funding requirements. Some initiatives generate a modest income, however, everything Hands has created started with small steps.
  • Fundraising : This charity conducts events in the form of bike rides in different parts of Thailand from which funds go directly to the charity. Most of these events are supported by organisations, such as Fisher and Paykel, L J Hooker, Smeg and Scentre Group.

* Internet referencing are those references that are identified solely through the internet – these are not classified as e­journals. Internet sources need to be assessed carefully. White papers are an accepted resource but again the depth of information contained within should provide value and should come from a trusted internet source. For example, Gartner, IBM, SAP, Forrester. If unsure email either myself or your tutors for clarification.
