Over $11,000 was raised through the recent Annual
ADRA Appeal in 2003, thanks to the generosity of people
in the local Caboolture and surrounding communities.

  ADRA works with people regardless of any ethnic, political, racial or religious association
    to relieve their suffering, empowering them and their communities to develop their full potential.

  ADRA is approved by the United Nations and 120 nations worldwide as a professional non-
    sectarian development and relief agency.

  In 1999 the ADRA worldwide network implemented 3,990 projects to a value in excess of
    $318 million in 155 countries assisting nearly 15 million of the world's poor and needy.

  ADRA also operates some programs under the identification names of 'AdCare' or 'Adventist
    Community Services' or "ADRACare" in parts of Australia and New Zealand.

  100% of all donations directly support ADRA projects - overhead and promotional costs are
    funded from other sources.
