We love our volunteers here at Resilient Lismore! We’re forever grateful for the time and effort they put in to our community, none more so than this group of 10 young men from Sydney who recently spent a week helping out with our Repair to Return teams, and doing some cleaning and maintenance work as well.
They’re from the Nairana Study Centre in north-western Sydney, and the Mirrabooka Study Centre in western Sydney. A few are in the later years of high school, a couple are at university, two are teachers, one is a chaplain, and Sebastian James is the director of Mirrabooka.
“Every year we try to do a service project in regional Australia or overseas to help a community in need,” Sebastian said. “After the bushfires we were rewiring fences with BlazeAid.”
The students (and teachers) gave up their holidays to come and help.
Kids, huh?
