Primrose and Ben both grew up in Grenfell and completed their High School education at The Henry Lawson High School.
Primrose is currently studying Communication and Media majoring in Marketing and Advertising at the University of Wollongong. Ben is studying Exercise Science.
Primrose and Ben have been selected to travel to India with the 40K Globe program as part of a team of students from around Australia to develop a social business that will improve the lives of local villagers.
They will also be visiting the PLUS Pods, after-school education centres set up by 40K to enhance the learning experience of children in the local villages, who may not otherwise have access to adequate learning facilities.
40K Globe is a unique one month internship in India that will provide Primrose and Ben with grass roots training in social business.
Besides learning new skills they will also gain many benefits from the project including experiencing village life, a grass roots exposure to Asia, creating a real impact for a community and experiencing the mateship formed with the other Globers.
The founders of the 40K Globe program are an established international, multidisciplinary team.
They work closely with Australian universities to make sure students get the most out of their one-month internship in rural India.
Primrose and Ben are also fundraising for the after-school education centres.
All of the funds generated go straight to further developing the 40K PLUS pods.
