00:00Q. Okay then Charlie, just tell me how you actually raised the money to buy this Hamperson?

00:04We raised the money by selling candy canes which have been decorated in school by students

00:12of the student council, then being sold for money, then that money would be able to buy

00:17this Hamperson.

00:18Q. And Lana, why do you think it's important that the school gets involved in this sort

00:23of initiative?

00:24It's so important for the community that it's taken into account. Obviously some people

00:28struggle emotionally at Christmas time with the lack of family and friends to have a Christmas

00:32dinner with and do things that we all take for granted. And financially as well, the

00:36winter, it's cold, everyone needs a heating on, so obviously it's much more expensive.

00:40So this should really help some people out.

00:42Q. And look what a float are going to deliver them on Monday?

00:44Yeah, it should be good to see people, they'll have a smile on their faces when they look

00:49at them. It'll be nice to see that their Christmas will be more better than happy,

00:54compared to normal Christmas time.
