A fresh start for a family in need

Earlier this year I had the pleasure of working at Amnesia Razorfish in Sydney. The project I was most proud of has finally been launched!

Just by looking at houses listed on the REA site you can help a family in need get a house of their own. Check it out at freshstartproject.realestate.com.au.

For every page you visit on the REA site you are awarded bricks. A little icon follows you around the site showing how many bricks you have so far. Donate the bricks you collect to the project by posting a support message to Facebook.

When 1 Million social bricks had been donated work began on building a home for a family in need. People who had donated bricks on the site and real estate agents could all volunteer to help build the physical house.

The work in progress was filmed and blogged about. All credit is due to the people who turned this idea into a reality, a real home for a real family.
