Day for Daniel – Keeping Kids Safe !
Several months ago we joined a cause near and dear to our hearts, supporting the Daniel Morcombe foundation in educating children about their personal safety. Also, the foundation assist children victims of crimes and families of missing persons and is greatly involved in the communities.
In August we were proud to support Billy Tindall who ran a 2000 km marathon organized by Daniel Morcombe foundation, aiming to raise $100 000 for child safety. In October, we joined the cause the Keep Kids Safe again on the Day for Daniel (27th October 2017). Our practice staff wore red, we decorated the practices with posters and red balloons to mark this special day and we managed to raise funds for the foundation.
Wear Red, Educate and Donate – the main theme of Day for Daniel was to reach as many Australians as possible about children safety. We encourage everyone to visit http://www.danielmorcombe.com.au/blog/day-for-daniel-2017 to understand the importance of this day better and to join us further in supporting this amazing foundation and its goals!
Through the programme, we provide weetbix cereal, milk & a piece of fruit on a Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday (the school chaplain provides breakfast on a Tuesday). We are also providing children in the programme (the grade ones and prep children) a toothbrush and toothpaste to teach them oral hygiene so they have greater confidence in their own personal appearance and they have one less reason to be alienated from other children. In addition to these, we are doing a BBQ breakfast once a term for all the children, families and teachers.
