The Rotary Club of Torquay recently purchased 2 sewing machines and donated them to Torquay College to use in the Wellbeing Area where they have an amazing project underway to sew 'Joey' pouches for local injured wildlife.
The same day they received them, Deb Russell, Student Wellbeing Officer stated "We actually had an opportunity to use the machines this afternoon in the last session for 2021 and they were fabulous!
We are really looking forward to having these machines as part of the ongoing program in 2022".
A fantastic outcome for all involved and an example of how we can support our local schools and wildlife carers!
Hi Malcolm & Kelly
Thank you so much for purchasing and donating the sewing machines to help with the Joey Pouch – Student Wellbeing program. We actually had an opportunity to use the machines this afternoon in the last session for 2021 and they were fabulous! We are really looking forward to having these machines as part of the ongoing program in 2022. I have attached a couple of photos (permission has been received by parents to share and use in newsletters etc). The first two photos were taken today showing the new sewing machines. The rest of the photos are moments from the Joey program at various times throughout the year.
Kind regards
Deb
