Boxing Day Tsunami: 15 Years On

There now exists a generation that for them the events of the 26th of December 2004, are something they learn about rather than have lived through. For those that lived through that day their proximity to Thailand often shapes their memories or in many cases the nightmares of that day.

Hannah Blackmore

Hi everyone! I'm Hannah and this is my first Blueprint bike ride. I'm from Jersey in the Channel Islands, UK, and now live in Hobart, Tasmania. I am a painter and I'm currently creating a business skills course for artists. Thanks for sponsoring me on this epic and worthy challenge, it is great to be a part of it and see first hand what a difference we can make in the world. I appreciate your support!
What we do

At Hands, we value most of all creating a life of choice for our kids, rather than one of chance. We do this by investing in their futures because we know that if you want long term results, you need to make long term commitments.
Early Learning Centre

We know that it is incredibly important that children, regardless of what the family they are born into looks like, have the opportunity to be exposed to education early. Delaying access due to economic hardship or leaving their formal education early as pressure builds to contribute financially to the family can have a lifelong impact.
