An email was sent out to all the junior school teachers that we have new mentors starting next year, within an hour I had emails back with names of students who would really benefit from this program. I am very excited that we can fulfil their requests and our new mentors will be ready to start next year. Now we can make a difference to more students’ lives in the school and our church is continuing to make a positive impact into the school community I would also like to thank John Burt, Principal of Ballarat Specialist School and all the staff for willingly supporting this program at the school. Thanks for you ongoing support. Janet Jones Kids Hope Co-ordinator
