Hi Molly -
Not too late, if you want, you can go to the website and pay on your credit card and then keep the cash - OR - you can head down to an ANZ branch and tell them you're banking for the Famine - OR - give us a call on 13 32 40

Hey Bianca-Rose,
Did you apply? Best of luck if you did!

We're busily sifting through them all, but you should hear something in the next few weeks.

The inside word is that the trip next year is to a country we've never sent Youth Ambassadors to before!
