TIA Video!

Take a look at TIA's video that one of our lovely volunteers Sarah Westgarth generously and cleverly put together from footage that Tessa took on her trip to Bolivia last year. It shows what we do, and most importantly, it allows you to see the beautiful children that we work with! Enjoy!

TIA is now an Incorporated Association!

This year has been so exciting for all of us as we watch TIA grow and gain momentum. One thing that we have been working on all year is the process of making TIA an Incorporated Association. With TIA being an Incorporated Association, we will be able to move forward as an organisation. As an Incorporated Association, TIA has many more legal rights and responsibilities. This is crucial to the growth and development of the organisation. Once the process is finalised, there will be an opportunity for all of you to become members of TIA.

Launch Party Success!!

The TIA Launch Party on Sunday was a great success, with over $3,000 raised in donations, the BBQ, drinks, and the silent auction! So a big THANKYOU goes out to everyone involved - The businesses who donated things for the auction and/or for the event itself, the music - Lainie Jamieson, Bakewell Street, and Tom West - you were all amazing!! The volunteers who helped out with the set up and running of the day were such a great help, I am very lucky to have such great people helping out!
