The
Walter Mangold Trust Fund is a newly established
Charitable Fund which originates from arrangements made under the
Wills of the late Anne Marie and Erwin Herzenberg.
The current
Trustee is The CASS Foundation Limited. For information

The Fund
commemorates the beliefs and achievements of Walter Mangold the
father of Anne Marie Herzenberg. Walter Mangold devoted a good
proportion of his life and energies to the teaching of languages
and came to the conclusion that better understanding between
peoples, and consequently lessening of conflict, could be achieved
by improving communication between them. The objects of the Fund,
though relating to a number of specific issues and outcomes, are
reflective of those underlying principles and beliefs.
Anne Marie
and Erwin Herzenberg set aside the substantial part of their assets
to establish the Fund. The foresight and benefaction of the
Herzenberg family should enable the fund to make a worthwhile
contribution to the study of languages in Australia and more
widely, and to the development of understanding between peoples by
virtue of study and dissemination of their languages.
In
2009 the Fund:
- funded three
projects to further the objects of AIIA Victoria;
- approved a
round of grants for students to study abroad in 2010; these
students will travel to China, Japan,Chile, Mexico and
Spain;
- funded an eminent Chinese scholar as Visiting Scholar to the University of
Melbourne
- funded
seven (7) Timor-Leste students to undertake intensive english
language courses in Melbourne, Australia.These students will
complete their courses in early 2010.
In
2010 the Fund proposes to:
- continue
its support of AIIA Victoria;
- undertake
another round of grants for students to
study overseas;
- fund a
Visiting Fellow to The University of Melbourne;
- continue
to fund its successful Timor-Leste scholarship program;
- consider
grants for its other objects.
The
Timor-Leste grants for students to come to Australia to study
are not open for general application.
Rather, the Fund works with some selected organisations in
Timor-Leste and Australia to find appropriate
candidates.
