MVAC commerce students serve community
Doonside, New South Wales

Mountain View Adventist College teacher Zenon Els and his Year 10 Commerce class have been busy sorting out household items and food products donated by fellow students and staff at the college to the class as part of a community-service project they organised during August.
These items have been distributed to families in the school who need some assistance, which the Commerce class designed to be seen as a “hand-up” rather than a “handout.” In total, 72 baskets were prepared and included generous donations from Sanitarium Health Food Company, who have been strong supporters of the project.
Mr Els says, “This community-service project has gone better than we expected and next year we will definitely be looking at doing it again!”—Fiona Lelilio
