Hello Aussies and supporters of charities.

 I was Looking for a local charity that accepts bitcoin to support and do a bit of anonymous fundraising for them expecting that there would be a wide choice,
There isn't . So I have decided to ask a charity I have supported in the past to add a bitcoin address to their donations page.


The charity is  Life Education https://www.lifeeducation.org.au/      

Quote
Life Education is the largest, independent, Australian, health education provider for school children aged 5-13 years. Through our pre-school and secondary school programs, we also reach children as young as 3 years old and as old as 17. We are a non-government, not-for-profit organisation that works with our partner schools to deliver essential curriculum-based lessons empowering children to make safe and healthy lifestyle choices that could impact on their futures.

Heres where I need your help.

I have contacted them myself and They don't believe there is a enough demand for accepting bitcoin, If you could get in touch with Them via their contact us form and ask them if they accept bitcoin or tell them why accepting bitcoin
Is a good idea. Then The Aussie bitcoin community could possibly have a worthy australian charity to support with the added bonus of showing the BTC uneducated  That bitcoin users are not all criminals and tax dodgers.

Thanks

EDIT - to be honest I am a tax dodger / I just thought i could do a better job of deciding where to spend a small percentage of my income than The australian government
