how to keep themselves safer from COVID, when they can get vaccinated and so on.
So yeah, it's really very important work that we have now in the aftermath of the pandemic for us, but what still is quite a serious stage of the pandemic for much of the world.
Well, obviously, I'd always like people to give generously and to think about how fortunate we are in Australia, that we are protected from any of the worst
things that happen, that we have adequate income generally, and we have government support if we need it, we have free healthcare, we have safe drinking water, we have free schools, all of those things that not everybody in the world can manage to have.
And really relatively small sums for us that are not very significant can make life or death differences for other people in low-income countries.
So restoring sites,
Fred Hollows Foundation, which is one of the charities we recommend, says it can do it for $25.
Even if that's an underestimate and it's 50 or $100, obviously we would pay tens of thousands of dollars to get our site restored if we needed to.
But generally, because we have a national healthcare system, we don't even need to pay that.
So I would ask people to give generously, of course.
I would ask them to think about the difference they're making.

My Australian superannuation fund did very nicely during the pandemic.
Thank you.
So others who are benefiting this way, I think, can think about sharing and can think about our good fortune, think about the more caring attitudes that maybe we had in our communities.
during the pandemic and extend that more broadly, extend that to those who are still likely to experience the worst of the pandemic and who also in any case were disadvantaged and need some help.
When people give, they do have the option of going to the website of the Life You Can Save and going to best charities and they can read about the charities and they can donate directly to the charities through that website.
but 100% of what they donate will go to those charities that they select.
