Trivia lunch sends four Ethopian girls to school

A fund raising trivia lunch held in Umina Beach has raised enough money to send four girls in Ethiopia to school for a year, according to event organiser Ms Amy Cardino of Ettalong.

The ChildFund's Big Ask Trivia Lunch was held at Margarita Daze restaurant on May 14.

Money raised at the event was combined with online donations was also used to purchase a bike for a child in Laos for a safer and faster journey to and from school and to purchase study and reading kits for children in Vietnam and Cambodia.

Ms Cardino said everyone in the trivia event had fun and the money collected was more than double her goal.

"We want every child to be able to say I am safe, I am educated, I am heard, I can make a difference, I have a future," Ms Cardino said.

Ms Cardino said she believed no child should be left behind irrespective of their disadvantaged circumstances.
