Phone Partners link http://jmiddleton45.wix.com/phone-partners

In the title is the link address http://jmiddleton45.wix.com/phone-partners to the web page re Phone Partners, a project to assist indigenous students complete school and further education through phone mentoring. Only 23% of Aboriginal students complete year 12 compared to 85% in the broader population. The quality of life markers correlate strongly with income, particularly at the lower levels. A leg up by 10 or so minutes on the phone each fortnight could make the difference over two hundred dollars per week for a year 12 leaver. Have a look. Ordinary people can make a difference.
