See quote about school attendance.

Here's an example where Sugar can bridge the gap between the
disadvantaged indigenous communities of Australia and the more
well-off children there; XOs with Sugar for the former (goal of
400,000), SoaS for the latter.

Regrettably, Sugar is not mentioned, although the richness of 30 Activities are.

Of interest: the teacher training programme

This one doesn't, but again, check the quote about school attendance:

Congratulations everyone!

I'm very proud be a part of this. It's wonderful to see disadvantaged
children in my own Country benefit from our work.
