A Special Invitation
UCF Partner Projects developed when Stan Kontos and Peter Gardiakos were told about Joyland Orphanage by a friend. They subsequently travelled to the Philippines in November 2012 and met with Pastor Rick Sutcliffe, his wife Suzet and the children of Joyland.
On their return to Adelaide, Stan and Peter suggested to the UCF Board that it would be great to sponsor an eggery for Joyland so that the orphanage could work toward a sustainable income. They then invited a number of local business people and friends to a “Joyland Presentation” and raised $25,000 for the project. This grew to $30,000 when Peter Gardiakos “donated” his birthday in 2013 by asking guests to donate to UCF for Joyland instead of giving gifts.
