If your in Australia it would have been hard to avoid the Bathurst 1000 V8 super car racing over the weekend. You also may have seen the V8 Cars at The Big Exo Day this year, and possibly even made the connection... yes the 'Jesus All About Life' cars were the same cars in the race!! The boys had a V8 Ute and a V8 super car in the respective races.

If you get a chance jump on your favorite guests myspace or facebook pages and thank them for coming to the Big Exo Day 2009.

Thanks so much for submitting your photos!! Here's a few of my favorites. You can view all we have so far here.

With your help Compassion was able to reach their goal of 1000 acts against poverty and this is the result:

• 1037 cards signed to send to the government, asking them to increase the amount of funding they provide to improve maternal health and reduce child mortality, to help see global poverty halved by 2015
• 5 children sponsored
• $2016 raised in donations
• 9 fair trade t-shirts sold, raising $270

It was a great day and Compassion will be sending the cards to the government to show that young people in Australia care about other young people all over the world and want to make a difference! They will also send the banner that over 1000 Exo peeps marked with their thumb print to show they care!

Good work guys! See! Together we really can make a difference!

Mission Australia helps thousands of struggling people each year find secure employment, housing, education and counselling as well as helping our communities through their other initiatives.

Taking into consideration the work that Mission Australia does for our communities nation-wide, Big Exo Day was proud to have Mission Australia come on board this year.

Thank you again to Mission Australia and all our sponsors of Big Exo Day 2009.
