Supporting the kids

Our club asked SACH if there is anything we can bring for the children when we visit in September (see 'Are you interested in volunteering' below). SACH suggested personal hygiene items.

So each member of our club has been asked to support one of the children and to write a small note to the child.

We are calling them 'kids packs' and due to space requirements will need to fit into a large pencil case.

We wish to thank our sponsors: Adentica Family Dentists; Pharmacy for Life, Officeworks Maroochydore and The Travel Agent at Caloundra.
