Mission Month and School Disco
Thank you to everyone who was able to attend our school disco last week. The children looked spectacular all dressed up in their favourite colours. Congratulations on such a wonderful effort. Together we raised $2,085.70 for Children’s Missions and local families affected by the drought.
Well done everyone!
LidKids
Thank you to all of the people who have sent in lids for our Mini Vinnies project. Your response has been amazing!
To date we have 3,363 lids!!!!!!
We smashed our goal for Term 3 and now we are looking to collect 5,000 by the end of Term 4!
WE CAN DO IT!!!
LidKids is a project helping children who have been born without a hand, or lost a hand to illness or injury. Made out of plastic bottle lids, with a 3D printer, all of the plastic bottle lids combined are melted together to form a prosthetic hand. The lids that are suitable are the lids that say a 2 or a 4 on the bottom of the cap.
Please send in clean lids from milk, juice and soft drink bottles. We can make a difference!
