Welcome
The LBW Trust is delighted to extend a warm welcome to our newest Patrons Maurice Newman AC and Malcolm Speed.

Special Thanks
A big thank you to the Year 8 boys at Shore School who raised $2000 from a recent readathon. Particular mention goes to Max Frost, James Cockerill, Nick Lloyd and Lachie Dodd who between them raised nearly 20 per cent of this impressive total. We are very grateful to Richard Stobo, the Master in Charge of Cricket at the school, for his continued and enthusiastic support of the Trust’s endeavours.

Current Students and Projects
The LBW Trust opens its innings in India.
Although we began operations on a small scale in Africa we are starting to spread our wings. The LBW Trust is now assisting students from Orissa one of the poorest States in India. Hopefully these students will be the first of many in India the Trust will be able to help with their education.

More students accepted in South Africa
The LBW Trust is pleased to announce that it has accepted an additional 6 more candidates. Recently, it was agreed to provide financial support to the following in 2008:

Tendai Ruswa – younger sister of Tinashe, one of our previous students and starting at UNISA
