20.01.2022 "Shaking things up with a little kindness - Australian Export & Investment Awards. When COVID-19 forced Australia into lockdown this year, tens of thousands of international students were unable to fly home. Many lost their jobs but weren’t eligible for government support packages. They couldn’t rely on financial help from home, as many students were from countries hit hard by the pandemic."

14.01.2022 We are a little late to remind you, but it has been just so busy with all of our projects! On the 4th of April last year the first-ever #KindnessShake Friday Food Service happened! Kindness Shake - Darwin NT (KS) is a community and student-led initiative, launched during the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic. It supports and focuses on international students, migrants, refugees and temporary visa holders who are experiencing financial difficulties. This partnership between in...ternational student volunteers, education and training providers, local businesses, multi-cultural groups and Governments aims to ensure that no one in the NT affected by the crisis goes to bed without a meal and a kind and genuine smile. Since its launch in April 2020, KS has served over 5,000 cooked meals, assisted more than 500 individuals, partnered with more than 30 organisations and local businesses, recruited more than 100 volunteers, raised over $60,000 and it is now an official incorporated association and charity. Although our main supporters are Study in Australia's Northern Territory/Northern Territory Government, the City of Darwin, Charles Darwin University, Australian Red Cross - Migration Support Program NT, Melaleuca Refugee Centre and Foodbank NT, we have connected with dozens of businesses and organisations that continue to support our goals and the exciting plan we have for the NT community in the future.
