Second Term 2008

Jessiah came back a week later joined by Jarius. Laurie Reedy of St Vincent de Paul Toowoomba took the kids to Target and insisted they have good new warm clothes.

Laurie has been looking after the kids since they started at Downlands two years ago

Josetta has been at Downlands for two years now. We have to aim at a minimum of two years for everyone, it is almost a waste of time if kids only stay for a term or two. The school needs a couple of years to do their job.
We need everyone to turn up for the flights too. We don't like wasting money on fares that are not used. We are lucky that Tiwi Tours and Qantas are so generous. We need kids to keep their promise and come when seats are booked. That is reasonable, don't you think?
