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
2008 the Fund:
- funded three
projects to further the objects of AIIA Victoria;
- undertook a round of grants for Australian students to study abroad in targeted countries
and languages. These students visited China, Indonesia,
Spain, Chile and Mexico;
- approved a
round of grants for students to study abroad in 2009; these
students travelled to China, Japan,
Indonesia, Chile and Mexico;
- 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 .
In
2009 the Fund will:
- 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;
- seek to
replicate its successful Timor-Leste scholarship
program;
- consider
grants for its other objects.
Guidelines and application
forms for the study abroad program round
will be available later this year in about June or July
.
The
Timor-Leste grants for students to
come to Australia to study will not be open to general
application. Rather, the Fund will work with some selected
organisations in Timor-Leste to find appropriate
candidates.
