Upcycle your Children's Bathers

HAVE YOUR CHILDREN OUT GROWN THEIR BATHERS OVER THE WINTER? 

KEEP THEM OUT OF LANDFILL AND DONATE THEM TO THOSE IN NEED INSTEAD!

Mrs Moore, teacher at St Catherine's is keen for donations of children’s bathers that have become too small for your children over the Winter. In January 2020, these bathers will be delivered to Thailand where they will be cleaned and donated to the Special Needs School, Samui and local disadvantaged Thai children.

The National Institute for Child and Family Development (NICFD) data states that five to seven Thai children drown each day. This is a staggering statistic and one that my friends are personally working on to reduce. 

Rather than send your old bathers to landfill here in Australia. Please think before you throw as these simple items will be used by local Thai children with the intent of them not becoming another statistic. Environmentally, it is also a plus-plus!

Any queries, please contact Megan Moore at mmoore@scmoorabbin.catholic.edu.au

If you are able to donate please drop your donations to the school office at St Paul's
