The couple have a background in education, and they both worked at International School Moshi - Mark teaching maths and Anna serving as a school counsellor and boarding parent.<br/><br/>During their years working there, they fostered and eventually adopted three more<br/>beautiful children, who had no other option for a family of their own. Soon after their fostering process began, the organisation Mark and Anna adopted through began piloting an innovative 12-month project that would reach women before crisis point, helping them break the cycle of poverty to create a self-sustaining future.<br/><br/>Since moving home to Australia in 2013, Mark and Anna founded a not-for-profit, Forever Projects, to raise funds and awareness for this remarkable project as it scales. The FP community has made this story their own, and the funds raised have helped more than 1,300 women and 1,700 infants across 6 locations in Tanzania.<br/><br/>To connect with Mark<br/><br/>Website<br/>http://foreverprojects.com.au<br/>Video:<br/>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CbAXfb9IMKc&t=41s<br/><br/>Motivation without the Hype:<br/><br/>Listed 4 in the Top 10 Podcast of Australian Motivation Podcasts - Check it Out -<br/>https://blog.feedspot.com/australian_motivational_podcasts/<br/><br/>Listed 7 in the Top 20 Podcast of Australian Inspirational Podcasts - Check it Out -<br/>https://blog.feedspot.com/australian_inspirational_podcasts/<br/><br/>Access your FREE resources:<br/>https://www.gezperez.com/motivation-app-free-resources<br/><br/>Join our Facebook Motivation without the Hype Community -<br/>https://www.facebook.com/groups/245093902611604<br/><br/>Get a complimentary Motivation Session here: https://gezperez.com/discovery-sessionSupport the showThank you for listening and we value your support on our podcast show. <br/><br/>For events/ collaboration/ media - send us an email at teamthrive@gezperez.com<br/><br/>For sponsorship opportunities and business shoutout promos - send us an email at teamthrive@gezperez.com<br/><br/>More information: https://gezperez.com/about
