Live Below the Line 2024

Why I am Living Below the Line 2024

From the 29th of April to the 3rd of May 2024, our family will be challenging ourselves to survive on only $2 a day for food. We are doing this to understand the struggles of living below the poverty line, and to raise funds for Oaktree, a non-profit organization that provides support for those living in poverty in the Asia-Pacific region. 

Our school has partnered with Oaktree in the Live Below the Line campaign, and would like your donation. By donating to my page (endorsed by Oaktree), you will support Oaktree’s partners and programs to empower young people in the fight against poverty and injustices in the Asia-Pacific region. Thank you for taking the time to read this message and please support our live below the line campaign by donating 

Thank you!!

My second 'Line' - Waste


PROBLEM
There has been an increase in the number of cans, bottles, and drink containers being littered around the school.
 As this is my 3rd year doing LBTL, I have to come up with new and improved ways to seek donations from others, rather than just expecting donations from past donors, especially considering the current cost-of-living crisis.

ACTION
We will pick up cans and bottles and recycle them for 10c each at the Victorian Container Deposit Scheme Bottle Depots. We are collecting these cans in order to reduce the number of drink containers going into landfill or being left on the ground, whilst raising money for Oaktree.
I am completing this line with my brother and sister (Anthony and Clarissa) so we will evenly splitting themoney from the depots at the end of the challenge when putting the money on our fundraising pages
Attached is a photo of the $10.30 of bottles that were deposited on the 10/4

Shoutout to those who donated bottles!

Apart from my siblings and I going around the school to pick up bottles, I have also given people the opportunity to donate to my Live Below the Line campaign by collecting their bottles for me to deposit to exchange for cash. 

Below, I will list those who have donated bottles to me so far!
