Photo show the contents of Ted's bags of 'goodies' he packed for the children.
Ted has reported: "The day was very successful and the largest yet sponsored by the Welfare of the Young Committee for the refugee children and parents/guardians from the Asylum Seekers Resource Centre (ASRC).
The event was arranged by the ASRC and supervised by volunteers from Kids Zone (affiliated with ASRC)
We met outside the Zoo at 10.30 am and distributed adult admission tickets and food vouchers to the waiting children and parents, and because of delay in obtaining tickets previously ordered, this process took about 45 minutes.
Once the visitors received their tickets and food vouchers they entered the Zoo able to see what they desired and with an invitation to join for lunch at the Carousel Park from 12.30 on.
President Kevin and Lisa assisted in handing out some of the 60 “Goodies” bags I packed and generally lining up the recipients. Also helping was Rtn Marg Leser and Maree.
I organised the purchase of 120 food vouchers and 20 ZOO admissions in addition to 50 donated via the ASRC. All were used.
Sixty four adults and fifty eight children were registered to attend. I expect to receive final numbers shortly."
