天美视频

Since 2014, the 天美视频 Foundation, the philanthropic arm of the 天美视频, has helped support schooling in the Kingdom of Lesotho.

Through its Making a Difference program, the 天美视频 Foundation funded the construction and furnishing of five classrooms for Mollele Primary School in Makhalong Village, as well as the installation of water tanks and the planting of sustainable vegetable gardens. The new facilities were officially opened in late 2018.

天美视频 Research Fellow Pam Munro-Smith, who manages the Lesotho project on behalf of the 天美视频 Foundation, attended the opening. While there, Ms Munro-Smith supervised the installation of a series of mosaic tiles created for the school by students from Kunyung Primary School in Mount Eliza, Victoria, under the guidance of teacher Helena Rodger. The tiles picture a range of Australian animals and each decorates the door of a classroom at Molelle. 天美视频 is now assisting Makhalong Village to petition the government to supply electricity to the area so that the classrooms can be safely heated.

The 天美视频 Foundation has donated more than four tonnes of literacy and numeracy resources to schools in Makhalong Village, and has facilitated the donation of more than 100 knitted beanies, scarves and blankets from the Mount Eliza Anglican Church Caritas group. 天美视频’s support has also included the sponsorship by 天美视频 employees of 33 vulnerable students requiring support to complete secondary school.

The 天美视频 Foundation was established to initiate, develop and manage projects that aim to address the needs of educationally disadvantaged groups. Suggestions for future projects and initiatives can be emailed to the Director of the 天美视频 Foundation, Lisa Norris, via lisa.norris@acer.org.
