1. Announcing Zande Law’s Charity For 2018 “The Common Good”

   14 February 2018 11:40 am Comments Off on Announcing Zande Law’s Charity For 2018 “The Common Good”

   Zande Law’s Charity for 2018

   Every year we at Zande Law seek out a charity worthy of support for the coming year. In past year the charities have included the Redcliffe Hospital Foundation, Young Care, an orphanage service in China and disaster relief for earth quake victims in Tibet. This year we are staying local and have selected – “The Common Good” (The Prince Charles Hospital Foundation).

   We are very excited to be a part of this initiative which is doing world class research in cardio, lung and  bones disease.

   With the support of our clients and staff, our donation so far this year is pledged at $2,600 with the hope of raising more money as the year progresses.

    

   

    

   Like all charities, awareness is almost as important as money and with that in mind we will be receiving and passing onto our clients updates from TCG about what work they are doing throughout the year with the financial support they receive. The work is fascinating, and we trust you will find it very interesting, read more…

    

    

2. Fun Run Winnings Directed to Nepal Earthquake Relief Effort

   29 October 2015 3:54 pm Comments Off on Fun Run Winnings Directed to Nepal Earthquake Relief Effort

   

   On 16 August 2015 Zande Law again participated in the North Lakes Community Fun Run event, with runners participating in the 5km and 2km individual events, as well as a team of four runners entered into the Community Shield relay event.  We are delighted to announce that this year, our fantastic team of brilliant runners managed to snag second place, which is an improvement on last year’s third place.  As second place winners, the firm earned prize money of $300.00 which was available to be donated to a charity of our choice.  As the Dadagaun Village Project Earthquake Relief Fund is the firm’s designated charity for this year, it was decided that these monies should be passed onto that charity and in accordance with Zande Law’s dollar for dollar donation match pledge, an additional $300.00 was donated simultaneously from our own funds.  Pictured are two of the fantastic runners from the day, Hayden and Tilly handing over the donation funds to Christine and Kurt Marschner of the Dadagaun Village Project.  Christine and Kurt have both confirmed that the need for ongoing support and funds in the Nepal area is still enormous and with winter approaching and many homes still not yet reconstructed these needs are becoming increasingly urgent.  Three messages that are considered particularly important to relay are:

   • The charities which are working to help rebuild the Dadagaun Village are very much working in partnership with local communities to ensure that the maximum amount of assistance is matched to the magnitude and priority of each family’s individual need;
   • With a strong locally based committee of both Nepalese and western businessmen co-ordinating efforts on a largely volunteer basis, minimal money is being lost in the administration costs which often heavily gouge away at donation dollars coming out of western nations; and
   • As pleasing as it was to see the magnitude and speed with which the world first responded to the quake victims in the days and weeks which followed, the rebuild of the affected areas of Nepal will take a very long time and consequently, international public awareness of the ongoing need for financial assistance and other forms of aid is vitally important to be maintained.

   Zande Law has pledged ongoing support to the Dadagaun Village Project Earthquake Relief Fund in other fundraising activities that it has planned for the remainder of this year and into next year.

3. Nominated Charity is Nepal

   15 June 2015 8:00 am Comments Off on Nominated Charity is Nepal

   We all heard about the earthquake that devastated Nepal in April this year, killing over 8,800 people and injuring more than 23,000. Zande Law would like to support the people affected by this natural disaster, as many still struggle from the damaging affects of the earthquake and after shocks. Countless people were made homeless and have had to survive in temporary shelter. Our nominated charity this year is the Dadagaun Village Project Earthquake Relief Fund which is helping to collect funds for the rebuilding of the village. The people of Dadagaun village were spared their lives however they are in desperate need of support to rebuild their homes and local orphanage.

   As has become tradition for our firm, we request that for the small jobs we do for our clients for free, we would greatly appreciate the client to make a donation to this charity instead of paying us. At the end of the year Zande Law will match donations dollar for dollar, effectively doubling every donation. In addition, we will also contribute our Christmas donation to the Dadagaun Village Project Earthquake Relief Fund. We hope you will help us to make a truly positive difference to the people affected by this devastating earthquake. Find out more about the charity here www.dadagaun.com and make your donation through this page www.dadagaun.com/earthquake-relief-fund. Thank you.

   Thanks to all of our friends and family who have supported our own Michael Zande in his first ever attempt at growing a Mo for the “Movember” Men’s health charity appeal. The jury results are in and everyone agrees that it was a woeful effort but at least we have raised some good donations and awareness for the cause. It’s not too late to get involved and donate or just give us your feed-back. For money Just Google Movember and then click on the “Donate” button in the top left hand corner then either type in “Michael Zande” in the search section and then follow the prompts or if you’d prefer to donate anonymously, click on the “general” section and again just follow the prompts. For feed-back just email us here at info@zandelaw.com.au and we will post it up on the Movember web site – be as brutal as you like it can’t be any worse than what has already been said.

5. Redcliffe Hospital Foundation

   Our firm is delighted to continue to maintain its association with this extremely worthwhile and dedicated organisation.

   The Foundation’s vision is to create training and high level medical specialist service facilities to the Redcliffe Peninsula and its surrounding region so as to better support the health needs of the local community. Its projects in the recent times have been to construct the $11 million medical specialist health centre which will now augment and superbly support the medical services already being provided out of the adjacent Redcliffe Hospital. Zande Law has participated as a platinum member for the Foundation now for the past 3 years. For the past 2 years, we have also with the kind support and appreciation of our clients, elected to distribute annual Christmas cards via an “E card” medium via email and have put the savings in the cost of printing and postage for those cards towards making additional $1,500.00 donations to the Foundation in both 2010 and 2011.

6. International China Concern

   Zande Law is proud to be a continued supporter of the life changing work of the International China Concern. As part of our annual Christmas gift to the community, in December 2012 $1,000 was donated and a further $1,200 in 2013 to the organisation in support of all the good work they do.

   International China Concern was founded in 1993 by David Gotts after seeing first hand the suffering of children with disabilities who had been abandoned and left in desperate conditions. In the beginning, ICC sent short term teams into China to help give care in government welfare centres. Later, permanent locations were established to provide full-time care for children in Changsha, Hengyang and Sanmenxia. Since 1993, more than 4000 children have been impacted through the work of ICC.
