By using social distancing, the COVID-19 restrictions did not deter Grafton VIEW from enjoying a catch up with friends over a tasty meal, prepared by the new chef. Laughter definitely is the best medicine!
“What is VIEW Club?” you ask. It is a national women’s organisation, exclusively supporting children’s education. By supporting a child while they are still at school, prevents the need to support them as adults. VIEW is proud to be the largest community to sponsor the Learning for Life program. This year is important for both VIEW and the students we support. It is the 60th anniversary, and this occasion has landed at a really tough time for these families. They are struggling to pay the bills for educational essentials for their children. So, sponsoring a child through The Smith Family helps to ease these burdens by providing a combination of financial support, personal support and access to a range of out-of-school learning and mentoring programs. VIEW helps children get the most out of their education.
Grafton VIEW Club welcomes women of all ages to join, so that more children in need can be reached. To find out about joining Grafton VIEW Club, you can phone Helen at 6642 3867, and more information can be found by visiting … view.org.au
