The Milang Campus and the Milang Old School House Community Centre have been selling t-shirts, badges and jewellery to help the schools efforts to save the turtles of Lake Alexandrina.
The turtles have been dying due to Tube Worms, now entering the Lake due to the rising salinity. The worms create a coral-like encrustation around the shells of the turtles. If left, the turtles eventually become too heavy to swim, or are completely encased and not able to exit their shell (or re-enter the shell leaving them vulnerable to attack). You can read more about the issue and what the school is doing to help here.
Over at moshcc.com.au we were looking for a way to help, and thanks to PayPal we have been able to set up a section of our site to help with the fund-raising.
I was able to set up the page in no time, and you can go there now and make your purchase. Once you do, the children at Milang Campus will pack up your order and send it off. There is also the option to make a donation.
