It’s not all work and no play for Rebel Wilson, who took a break from filming to go on safari in Africa.

The 28-year-old Aussie actress is currently filming the comedy Grimsby in Cape Town, South Africa, but managed to sneak a peak at the wildlife.

Wilson shared the experience, posing from her tour vehicle with elephants in the background. Another photo showed Wilson next to a lion cub.

In this pictorial edition of Corroborree we will be featuring all of the highlights from the Sydney Convention 2014. The Convention provided attendees with various different events and activities that kept them entertained for hours and have left them with memories to last a lifetime. 

‘Jambo’!

‘Poa’, sang a choir of delightful Tanzanian children, cheeky smiles from ear to ear, bustling shyly for the attention o f this unknowing 'mzungu'.

In December 2013, I travelled to Tanzania with Global Immersion, a company dedicated to uniting the youth of the world.

Founder Bernie Kelly resonates enthusiasm, dedication and passion through his wonderful ways, creating an extraordinary experience that takes its place among my most worthwhile and unforgettable memories.

I signed up to the journey with zero expectations, returning home with a wealth of cultural knowledge, much self-discovery, many treasured Tanzanian rafikis and a deeply ingrained confidence in humanity.

In 2002, Australian Gemma Sisia established the fully donor funded School of St Jude in Arusha, Tanzania. She grasped an opportunity to improve the quality of others’ lives, and twelve years later her once small scale school has had a magnificent impact upon 1600 of the most disadvantaged African children and their families.

She has transformed thousands of lives by providing education in a society where education is a privilege for most, and along the way, created jobs for over 400 local Tanzanians. In recognition of her selfless contribution to improving the lives of others, the Australian government awarded her the awarded her a Member of the Order of Australia (MA) in 2007.

Born in the country in Northern NSW, Gemma Sisia, the founder and proprietor of the School of St Jude in Arusha, Tanzania, returns to Australia every year to recharge her batteries, thank the school’s current supporters, and find more support for its ever growing funding needs.

During her latest visit, Gemma was happy to talk to SALT Magazine about her school and the challenges she faces in looking after over 1800 students in a rural region of Tanzania.

“I come back to Australia every year because each year we grow the school by 150 students. The purpose of the trip is twofold – firstly to update the people who are already supporting the school and then to find additional support for the 150 new students that we bring into the school program”.

Photographer Simon Scott is preparing  for a trip to Tanzania with his 10-year-old son. 

The Armidale snapper will will travel to the School of St Jude, founded by Guyra woman Gemma Sisia, with his son Fletcher.

Scott will lend his photography skills to the St Jude cause. 

It will be his fourth such trip. “Once you’ve been there, you always want to go back,” he said.

Five years ago, St Joseph’s Primary School teacher Marta Cummings launched a fundraising effort with an eager group of grade 1 children, aiming to make a difference to the lives of children in Tanzania.

Since then, the Prahran resident has expanded the program to include the whole school.

The school community – including staff, students and parents – has been sponsoring Elifuraha Petro (nicknamed Ellie), who attends the School of St Jude in Tanzania.

“The reason I got involved with St Jude’s, in particular, is because the girl who started it is a young Australian – Gemma Sisia. I was really interested in her story and the school looked amazing,” Ms Cummings said.

“I originally started the sponsorship with my little class of grade 1s. We started growing and selling herbs. From there, the sponsorship effort grew and more classes started coming on board.”
