ESB thanks Friends of ESB for their Donations to our 70/70 Campaign

ESB is passionate about closing the disadvantage gap as part of its 70/70 Campaign which is instrumental in reaching out and opening up a whole world of opportunities for learners facing disadvantage. The continued support from ESB friends is greatly appreciated.

Thank you to the following Friends of ESB who have made donations to our 70/70 Campaign.

Daphne James, long-standing friend of ESB and CB Fund contributor

"I am conscious of what ESB has given me over the years and would love to give something back. Also, it is a way of giving something in everlasting memory of Coidy (Christabel Burniston) and Jo (Jocelyn Bell) who were very influential in my life. "I am so glad that their legacy lives on and that today’s assessments are a lasting memorial to their vision. I really believed in what ESB tried to do with its assessments in Spo- ken English and I earnestly hope that many more State Schools will take it on board and benefit from all it has to offer."

Karen Butler, long-standing friend of ESB and CB Fund contributor

"ESB has been a very important part of my life as a teacher, assessor and promoter of oracy over the years, so I am delighted to support the 70/70 venture in memory of my life-long friend and mentor Christabel Burniston."

James Patrick, long-standing friend of ESB and CB Fund contributor

"I shared almost all of the 70 years with Coidy (Christabel Burniston) and Jo (Joceyln Bell)! I became a member back in 1956 and know the beginnings of ESB so well. I would like to send my very best wishes and hopes for the next 70 years."

Carolyn McKenzie, Hon Treasurer ASCA, long-standing friend of ESB and CB Fund contributor

"I am writing on behalf of the Australian Speech Communication Association (ASCA) which was founded by Gina Pioro (formerly Penkyman) at ESB. I remember a time when Christabel Burniston visited Sydney and at a meeting addressed many interested people. By law the organisation had to have an Australian name and so ASCA was born about 45 years ago. It has grown to be one of the most successful examining bodies in Australia."

Thayalan Reddy, long-standing friend of ESB and CB Fund contributor

"I have been a life member of ESB for several years and based in Durban, South Africa. I am grateful to ESB for enhancing my professional standing with the awarding of a Fellowship of ESB in 1984."
