While I took this photo there was a 62 year old lady whom I personally know huddled down in a sleeping bag in a park, trying to keep warm but more importantly keep safe.

As every year passes we learn more about what’s needed out there on the streets and the biggest call now is for sleeping bags. […]

Three different types of backpacks were made. Kinder to lower primary, upper primary and high […]
