Ferndale School


We rang Linda from Ferndale and had a chat to the Deputy Principal. We wanted to assist the children there. Ferndale needed assistance because their gardener had a broken arm. This meant the workload in the school was getting on top of people and they really wanted a hand. We also tidied up the staffroom and chatted to the staff members. We were caring, enthusiastic and generally wanted to sit, talk and be pleasant company for the people there.

We met some of the children there and split into two groups. One group went and helped the children eat morning tea as they were unable to use their arms and could not feed themselves. We smiled and laughed with them. The other group went and taught the children there how to play word bingo. We were a little competitive but luckily they didn't mind!

    1. Hello Natalie,

      We are probably going back but we are also trying to contact Justin Muschamp. Justin helps children and adults with physical disabilities and he is a paraplegic himself. We thought this is amazing and we wanted to help him out.
