Stepping Stone House Sleep Out Supporting Homeless Youth

W hat a night! Friday the 18th September saw around 80 people brave the rain and participate in the Harbour Sleep Out to support youth who have endured a rough run in life. It was fantastic to see members from all over the community come together to support our youth. With this support Stepping Stone House are one step closer to helping even more disadvan- taged youth in Australia. Stepping Stone House to date have raised $65,111 and are hoping for even more donations. The event will run until the end of November. We encourage you to register as an individual or Team and sleep out in your back yard to help raise more funds for Stepping Stone House. Or you can simply make a donation by going to http://stepping- stonehouse.com.au/news-events/ so2015/ Kennards Self Storage made a financial donation in addition to a donation of 300 Kennards Boxes that were used by participants as shelter to sleep under on the night. Established in 1989, Stepping Stone House is a not for profit organisa- tion providing medium to long term accommodation, care and develop- ment for homeless and at risk young people aged 12 to 24 years old from around NSW.

Community Spirit in Vanuatu Liberty of Nations volunteers packing Kennards Boxes in Port Vila, filled with clothing, blankets and other household items for distribu- tion to the community.

The rebuild of the community after Cyclone Pam is now in full swing with local workers being trained to construct kit homes.

Hundreds of homes and re-roofing of homes on five islands will need to be built. So far three full shipping containers of blankets, linen, clothing and household needs, one and a half shipping containers of waterproof material and 13 containers (so far) of building materials have made their way to Vanuatu.
