Best Western & World Vision Partner Up


Best Western Australasia and World Vision (Australia / New Zealand) form partnership to help children living in poverty

For over 50 years Best Western has maintained a reputation of providing superior care for its customers; now the company is extending this philosophy by caring for the world’s poorest people as well.

This week Best Western launches a new partnership with World Vision Australia, designed to make positive changes to the lives of children and communities living in poverty. By encouraging staff, property owners, friends and families to sponsor a child, Best Western is working to provide communities with basic needs we take for granted such as enough food to eat, clean water to drink, as well as healthcare and education to set children up for a long and healthy life.

“Best Western has always been a family company, so our partnership with World Vision Australia to help children, their families and communities is a natural extension of this philosophy,” says Robert Anderson, Executive Director of Best Western Australasia.

“There are millions of children living in poverty worldwide. Sponsoring these kids is one small way we can help to make a lasting difference.”

Sponsorship is the first phase of the Best Western / World Vision partnership; other exciting initiatives will be released later in the year.

People choosing to sponsor a child or receive more information about the partnership and program are directed to the weblink www.worldvision.com.au/bestwestern.

Gordon Campbell: On Dune 2, And Images Of Islam


Depictions of Islam in Western popular culture have rarely been positive, even before 9/11. Five years on from the mosque shootings, this is one of the cultural headwinds that the Muslim community has to battle against. Whatever messages of tolerance and inclusion are offered in daylight, much of our culture tends to be hostile to Islam when we’re sitting in the dark, with popcorn.
Any number of movie examples come to mind, beginning with Rudolf Valentino’s role (over a century ago) as the romantic Arab hero in The Sheik...
