Halberg Trust

Sir Murray Halberg launched the Halberg Trust (originally called the Murray Halberg Trust for Crippled Children) in 1963 after attending a fundraising function in Toronto. The luncheon had been staged to raise money for disabled children so they could achieve their sporting potential. Sir Murray, guest speaker at the event, was so impressed by the concept that he approached his employers to see if they would back a similar event in New Zealand. The response was a definite “yes” and the rest is history. While the Trust’s name may have changed, it remains committed to recognising sporting excellence through the Westpac Halberg Awards along with assisting young people with a disability participate in sport and active leisure.

Half the Sky Foundation

We provide individual nurture and stimulation for babies, innovative preschools that encourage an early love of learning, personalized learning opportunities for older children, and loving — and most important, permanent — foster homes for children whose special needs will keep them from being adopted. For the children who will never be adopted, Half the Sky programs are the closest thing they will ever receive to the love and support of a birth family. Orphanage caregivers are too often over-worked and under-trained. Too often, there is no one else to provide the children with the developmental opportunities (and love!) that every child needs and deserves. Thousands of children are now enrolled in Half the Sky’s five programs that provide love and hope for children living in China’s orphanages.

Hamilton College

Hamilton is a national leader in teaching students to write effectively, learn from each other and think for themselves. Hamilton College had its beginnings in a plan of education drawn up by Samuel Kirkland, missionary to the Oneida Indians. The heart of the plan was a school for the children of the Oneidas and of the white settlers, who were then streaming into central New York from New England in search of new lands and opportunities in the wake of the American Revolution. The College that evolved from Samuel Kirkland's plan of education will soon celebrate the bicentennial anniversary of its charter. Far from the modest frontier school for white and Oneida Indian children that the missionary envisioned, it has become an institution of higher education that draws its students from all areas of our country and even beyond our borders. Although Hamilton remains small by present-day standards and currently has a student body of fewer than 1,900, it provides resources and facilities comparable to those of undergraduate institutions substantially larger in size.
