On Tour With the Kid CHLOE O'SULLIVAN

So, This is Christmas

READ ONLINE

TEACHING A CHILD NOT TO STEP ON A CATERPILLAR IS JUST AS IMPORTANT TO THE CHILD AS IT IS TO THE CATERPILLAR. Years ago, we went to the happiest place on earth, Bunnings, and made our own advent calendar. It's a tiny little house with the idea that it's all very nice to get a treat on the countdown to Christmas, but it's also a chance to remind each other that what you give is more important than what you get. Every morning, along with the chocolate, the kid gets a little note about what we can do that day for someone else and, in a small way, make our tiny corner of the world a better place. Our list is not for everyone. Some things are very specific to our family. The news has been hard to watch lately, and it feels like there is no way to keep it from any kid with access to a device.

Newcastle’s own clinical trial centre Every new medication/treatment has to pass through a series of clinical trials, a process which can take several years, before it can be approved for wider use. By volunteering for a trial, you have the opportunity to access cutting edge treatment not otherwise available, while also helping to improve future treatment options. Our ethically approved clinical trials are run by a dedicated team of doctors and nurses. We provide comprehensive medical care throughout the trial at no cost to you. It is only through the willingness of clinical trial volunteers that we can advance medicine and continue changing lives.

I can't even imagine how awful it would feel not to be able to get everything we need to wash our hair and take care of our period. No one should have to decide between tampons and food or not being able to afford either. That just shouldn't be a thing. Share the Dignity takes donations for In the Bag, which collects handbags filled with goodies to give to women who need them. We do this every year, but this year, I thought we could do a few extra to try and make a few more people smile. We did this early this year as the cut-off was 26 November, and bags filled with the items can be dropped off at Bunnings. You can donate money to these guys all year round to help with the same issue at www.sharethedignity.org.au. ▶
