CEO & Founder of Health and Life David Dahm early experiences in India as a child, are not dissimilar to those people depicted in the video. Giving back to the community has become David's primary focus. He sees education is at the very core of fighting poverty and ill health health. Read on.
Women play a critical role in reducing poverty and many other anti-social behaviour in society. The following article demonstrates why the women of Haiti have proven this so. Aid was successfully redistributed without men. This was a significant problem until women received protection and support from the Government.
Closer to home, the Australian ethos is to give everyone a fair go and mateship. We support many local and global community programs with pro bono and financially that have a focus on Financial and Health Literacy Awareness.
Getting the message out is they key. The One Moment Foundation is our own charity we have established to channel our efforts through. An effective community message vehicle, is through community netball, where an incredible 95% of all women have played this sport in Australia. There is a strong focus on youngsters to keep fit and healthy though out their life.
The Australia Day Council is about Australian culture and what is required is cultural change. The Australia Day Council is about defining what it means to be an Australian. We want health and financial literacy awareness to be seen as part of the Australian way of life.
Finally there is the Australian Association of Practice Managers. Practice managers are the air traffic controllers of all community practices like your local doctor. They have access to the providers who have access to you. So one day we hope you will hear about this work we do to make our world a better place to live.
Charity begins at home, you need to help yourself first before you can help others.
( It is interesting note, before take off, the flight attendants always say, when the little yellow oxygen masks drop down for you, please take a breath before you help the kid siting next to you - just some food for thought ?!?!).
Specifically our activities are detailed below:
