Again this year our club sponsored a young person to attend the Lord Somers Camp and Power House in late January ( it coincided with Melbourne's record 4 hot days).
Maree Webb (Programs administrator ) wrote and thanked the club. Our support was for student Ayel Akot from Fitzroy who as a Sudanese refugee, would not have been able to attend without this help. Ayel wrote a letter to the organisers and Maree passed that on. Ayel remarked " I really wanted to say thank you so so so much for letting me come to Big Camp. I have made so much friends. I never thought that I would be able to see myself as a beautiful unique and gifted woman. Thank you for that........................."
