Operation Restore Hope Australia is working harder and harder to make the dreams of the poor children of the Philippines come true.
We are holding fundraising concerts here in Australia, gathering supplies and equipment. Dr. Hodgkinson is traveling to the Philippines in October to pre-screen children and make sure that everything is in order before two surgical teams travel in November to operate and one team gears up for February 2005.

There is so much to be done! How much we can do, as in anything, depends upon resources. We need your help. If you are not already a member, please join now. Only $10 a year with a one time application fee of $10 will help us and is a statement that you support this work and care for the future of these children who without our help will go unaided.

Australian Filipino volunteers return to give back
What has made each year better is the number of volunteers from the Filipino community of Australia who come to give something back to their homeland by giving its children a chance for the future. We are already planning this year’s missions and already have surgeons committed as well as some great plans for fun fundraising.
