To finish the quote from Field of Dreams "they will come". We are hoping that a general manager will come to take SCKC to the next level. I have been involved with Southern Cross Kids Camps since its inception in 2000. We work with kids in foster care, or within the social welfare system. Most of these kids are having it tough and these camps allow them to experience unconditional acceptance, no-strings-attached love, a listening ear and the chance to build some happy childhood memories. Next year seven camps will run - six in three states of Australia and one in New Zealand. The board of directors are all volunteers and work from home. SCKC has two part-time staff for admin and accounts and NOW there is an office for them to work from, an office I will be at for several hours each week that I am 'home' and now the very real prospect of moving on via finding the right general manager. How did this happen? Through the vision, commitment to the cause of SCKC and generosity Jason Smith of the Back In Motion Health Group stepped in and has allowed us to use a portion of his corporate headquarters. We have our own entrance, reception area and two large offices! WOW! SCKC now has a physical presence in the community and we plan to make an impact.
