More than a plaque – a heartwarming reminder

Teacher Presence helped Operation Toilets build toilets in India, allowing more children to be able to attend school! At each school a large, engraved granite plaque will be attached to the external wall of one of the toilet blocks standing as a perpetual reminder of how the toilets came to be in the school.

Special moments like this - Eat Up at our school

This was such a special moment for me. At the end of Term 1, Eat Up Australia ran a snack drive at the school I teach at. The whole school rallied together to donate snacks that will help to feed hungry kids across Australia.

Our fourth charity. Welcome Community Spirit Foundation!

Community Spirit Foundation (formerly known as the Cathy Freeman Foundation) was a natural choice to add to the Teacher Presence charities list. This charity does incredible working with First Nations communities to ensure their young people have the best outcomes and opportunities through education and lifelong learning.

The basics expanding horizons with Operation Toilets

Such a heartwarming moment when we saw these girls in India, now at school, sharing what they would like to do when they grow up. This is all thanks to Operation Toilets and the incredible work they do.

Why Teacher Presence Started

It began when Mark Balla, founder of Operation Toilets, shared the devastating reality that some girls in India do not go to school because there were no toilets.
