One of the weekly highlights of my busy uni life is spending time with kids at the Stitches center. Many of the kids there are from broken families who live in commissioned flats where the threat of drugs and gangs are as close as to you and your iPhone. These kids long for love and attention that they could hardly get, and we are here to provide some of that missing piece.
Every Saturday we round kids up from nearby suburbs such as Collingwood and Fritzroy and bring them over to our center where it is all fun and games. The place is run by two amazing people, Chris and Patrick Templeton, whose heart and soul are all out for the kids.
It gives me great joy to see the kids having loads of fun and who are worry free. One of the biggest inspiration for me to be involved is when past Stitches kids who are now successful working adults share on how Operation Stitches changed the course of their lives! Truly amazing testaments and with this in mind I want to be with the team of people who can make a significant impact in these wonderful kids.
Here are some pics during the last few Super Saturdays we had.
We hope we can better equip these wonderful kids with virtue and God so that they know what to stand for later in life, for we all may meet the con that we call 'love'.
