Eden gets ready for the 40 Hour Famine Adelaide student Eden Harris has topped her 2012 tally by raising $1250 to assist people in the developing world through giving up food and furniture during World Visiion's 40 Hour Famine

Last year, in her first 40 Hour Famine, Eden, who was then just 13 years old, was able to raise $940 for projects that help hungry kids and families around the world.

Eden said she was enormously grateful all to those people who had generously donated to support her during the famine. "For me, it shows that working together, we really can make the world a better place," she said.

This year, all funds raised will go to support projects that fight hunger in Malawi, Ethiopia, East Timor, Nepal, Tanzania, and Uganda. Initiatives include helping families gain better access to food and clean water, give people the chance to increase their incomes through training and micro-finance, and help farmers get the tools and training they need to grow more food. Funds raised in the 40 Hour Famine also help World Vision respond to emergencies around the world.

Until the end of September, you can still sponsor Eden through her 40 Hour Famine profile page at http://www.worldvision.com.au/40HF/ProfilePage.aspx?preferredurl=Edenharris If you have any problems with that link, Eden's Famine ID number is 2013005995. If you/re not able to sponsor her financially, Eden will appreciate encouraging messages on her webpage for the site

Eden's school, Temple Christian College, held its 40-Hour Famine on Wednesday and Thursday (August 21 and 22) this week.

Melba leads in tailored care with EBS & NAV

Details: In Evolution Business Systems; / Published on 09 September 2013

Karen Gibson, Melba Support Services Victorian disabilities care group Melba Support Services has become an Australian leader in delivering support services tailored to the needs of each individual since using Microsoft Dynamics NAV from Melbourne-based EBS.

Melba, which assists persons with disabilities in Victoria’s Yarra Valley, has overhauled its funding model, moving from the traditional group-based Block Funding to a more individualised service model.

After thoroughly evaluating its options, Melba Support Services selected Microsoft Dynamics NAV from enterprise resource planning specialist, Evolution Business System (EBS). Microsoft Dynamics NAV is a business solution that delivers comprehensive business management functionality for small and midsize businesses and organisations.

Melba Support Services Acting Business Manager Karen Gibson said Microsoft Dynamics NAV had given Melba Support Services greater control, visibility and accessibility to client details. “One of the main differences of an integrated system is that our information is now up-to-date and we know exactly where we are every day,” she said.
