We are exploring the possibility of running a camp in Timaru. There are members of Rotary and a good number of teachers who are keen to organise a camp with fun activities to give some of the children affected by the earthquakes a break from the realities they are facing. We will be looking to our community to rally around with ideas and support to make this idea a reality. We may be able to bring a bus load or two from areas like Kaiapoi.
We could look at providing some counselling sessions for those who want to talk and de stress.
I think our community will rally round and donate experiences and time and goods to make sure that the children we work with will have a great time with happy memories.
I have emailed local schools to see if they might consider sponsoring a child. Already several have replied to the affirmative which is great!
If anyone reading this blog can help or has some useful, creative ideas then please let me know
