About Me

BELIEVING EVERY ACTION MATTERS!
projectBEAM is a Sutherland Shire based charity group comprised of youth who are dedicated to contributing to the local and wider communities.
I don't know what the future may hold, but I know who holds the future.
-Ralph Abernathy Civil Rights Activist (1926-1991)
An establishment of the Sutherland Lakewood Sister Cities program, affiliates were originally returned exchange students who were determined to pay kudos to those who supported their trip, however recent years have seen the programs potential grow, so as to include ALL interested youth!
Members of the projectBEAM committee recently participated in the LATROBE city youth conference (2005) and the DEVENPORT city youth conference (2006) where the group was able to interact with similar associations from all around Australia and overseas. We returned eager to embark on this oppourtunistic journey, brimming with ideas and enthusiasm!
In its early days, this program has attracted great interest and promises to be a successful and rewarding experience for all involved. We are looking for keen and motivated shire residents to start helping out with our charity projects and join us for the ride!

One of the great movements in my lifetime among educated people is the need to commit themselves to action. Most people are not satisfied with giving money; we also feel we need to work.
-Peter Drucker
Let us not be satisfied with just giving money. Money is not enough, money can be got, but they need your hearts to love them. So, spread your love everywhere you go.
-Mother Teresa
You must be the change you want to see in the world

The practice of charity will bind us.. will bind all men in one great brotherhood.

My Interests

the projectBEAM team boasts university and tafe students, full time workers, travellers and school students. The team are dancers and actors and snowboarders and models and footy players and children's entertainers and soccer stars and social planners. We have budding school teachers, budding ski instructors, budding architects, budding actresses, budding lawyers, budding journalists, budding motivational speakers and plenty who just arent sure! We like to party, we love philosophy, we like to learn and in particular we love learning about local and world affairs. We enjoy music and festivals and enjoy our community work. Although we are so diverse, we have a couple of things in common; we love to travel and we have a passion for charity.
