The Green Gecko Project

THE GREEN GECKO PROJECT

Last Friday, BSE’s CEO, Andrew Fraser and National Strategic Partnerships Director, Godfrey Frederick were overjoyed at the opportunity to host Cambodian Architectural and Occupational Therapy students and i2c’s Anthony Merlin on Sydney Harbour. Basking in the sunshine, BSE were pleased to give the students a wonderful perspective of Sydney by boat.

THE GREEN GECKO PROJECT

The three students have travelled to Australia as part of The Green Gecko Project, a charity recognised for bringing effective, sustainable, and positive change to the communities they work with. They have empowered many Cambodian families, living in poverty, to raise their children in a safe and nurturing environment. Through mentoring, training, health initiatives and social enterprises, the Green Gecko Project has assisted in helping families successfully break the cycle of intergenerational poverty.  

Andrew Fraser commented

“When approached by one of our project partners, Anthony Merlin at i2C Architects, we jumped at the opportunity to be involved and organise an afternoon on Sydney harbour. The Green Gecko Project is an awe-inspiring charity, Godfrey and myself were humbled to meet these wonderful young people. I commend i2C for their continued support of the charity and those benefitting”
