MAKING THE WORLD A SOFTER PLACE ~ LILIANA MAKARI FOLLOWS HER HEART
"A kind gesture can reach a wound that only compassion can heal" - Steve Maraboli
I find that the greatest joy lies in giving, which is why I dedicate my life to helping others, especially families and children in need. In addition to donating heartbeat animals, I also donate to those less fortunate than myself. Below is a list of reputable children's charities and organizations I am proud to have partnered with over the last financial year.
To my customers and loyal supporters, thank you for helping me make this possible.
ACT FOR KIDS is a wonderful Australian charity providing free therapy and support services to children and families who have experienced, or are at risk of child abuse and neglect. Australian authorities confirmed 42,457 children were abused or neglected in one year alone. That's one child every 13 minutes suffering physical, sexual, emotional abuse or neglect, often by someone they know and should be able to trust; most often in their own home. ACT FOR KIDS have helped thousands of children and families for over 28 years. Their services have expanded to include integrated therapy, support for vulnerable families, special workshops to empower kids and safe houses in remote Aboriginal communities. Thousands of children and families depend on the hard work of this wonderful charity and it is imperative that their work continues. This is why Baby Beats are incredibly proud to support ACT FOR KIDS.
THE ALANNAH AND MADELINE FOUNDATION is a national charity focusing on protecting children from violence and creating behaviour change in the community to reduce bullying and cyber bullying. The Foundation was set up in memory of Alannah and Madeline Mikac, aged six and three, who were tragically killed with their mother and 32 others at Port Arthur, Tasmania, on 28 April 1996. Their vision is that every child will live in a safe and supportive environment.

ST SHENOUDA COPTIC ORTHODOX MONASTERY is a Christian Coptic Orthodox Monastery located 2 hours from Sydney. St Shenouda Monastery was established by the Late H.H. Pope Shenouda III, back in 1993 and has since then, attracted a number of Australian born and raised Monks who chose this holy way of living. St Shenouda Monastery has established itself as a hub for many Church Camps, family day visitations and youth retreats, receiving many visitors from around Australia and all over the World as well as non-Coptic new comers. Today, as their visitor numbers increase, they find a great need to develop bigger facilities to enable them to continue to serve their ever growing congregation, especially those who attend on special Feast Days and events which are regularly held at the Monastery in big numbers. For all these reasons, they need a bigger Church that can accommodate 500 people. Also, a bigger Services-Building which includes a big dining room with a kitchen, bookshop, canteen, offices, lounges and lots of facilities and amenities, to further enhance the well being of all types of visitors, as well as the monastic & spiritual life of their present and future Monks. This Project will be a great addition to their blessed Churches in Australia and will serve the many generations to come.
