The Morley Leos Club of Morley Senior High School hosted the sixth annual Sleeping Rough event, themed “Uniting for Hope and Refuge.” Led by Year 10 student Aarush, the evening began with a Welcome to Country by Year 11 student Amarjan, followed by a heartfelt performance of “Let Me Give You Love” by Matthew, Shania, Caitlin, and Chris.
The event highlighted its beneficiaries, Orana House—a refuge for women and children victims of domestic violence—and Divine You Narrogin, which provides service for the homeless and advocates for people with disabilities.
Ms Butterworth and Mr Rickert O’Shea, emphasised the significance of the Sleeping Rough initiative. Hon. Amber-Jade Sanderson, MLA, and Dr. Ghialy Yap addressed pressing issues like youth homelessness and family domestic violence.
Messages from community supporters, including Lions Noranda, Dr Ann Aly, Sr Sahaya, Jasmyn Hutin and former Leo Fabiana Manrique Mantos, underscored the power of generosity.
The night concluded with a raffle, a group photograph, and the signing of the Sleeping Rough 2024 Banner. Thank you to everyone who joined us—together, we’re making a difference!
