YEAR 10 Parade College students including Rohan, Mohammed, Sithira and Nyuol (pictured) have presented the first of 100 welcome packs to MacKillop Family Services manager Ninevah Haddad (pictured left).
The packs, which include water bottles, toys, backpacks, toothbrushes and toothpaste, are for children in foster care.
Parade College year 10 community action co-ordinator Darrell Cruse says foster children can take the packs to their new homes and keep them as their own.
“The point of the project is more about giving the exposure of foster care and normalising foster care for our kids,” he says.
The program is supported by $5000 from the Banyule City Council.
