3 Minute Speaker - Mike Weber
Mike gave a very empathic and personal talk about the work her does for Foster kids after his own history of being a Foster kid.
A Better Life for Foster Kids is a Restorative Framework embracing
Justice Prudence Fortitude Temperance
Their Mission is to provide an immediate reality of financial support for crisis suitcases, with the possibility of further augmented care in the journey of the foster child.
There is opportunity for affixing a logo or sticker on the suitcase, though actual tracking of the foster child is protected through the Dept. of Child Protection. However, the Charity has a private web page and Facebook, where parents register as a means of self-diagnosing of issues with aims of building normality in the foster child’s life through assimilation with other children in the household.
This gives us the opportunity to further help the foster child via the carer, organised through A Better Life for Foster Kids
Our Main Speaker was Professor Dr Brian O'Donnell D Sc.
Professor (Dr) Brian O'Donnell D Sc. has been chair of VOCAL for 25 years since his step daughter was murdered by Peter Dupas.
VOCAL was established by people who lost a love ones through murder. It's initial purpose was request
Governments of both persuasions to take away the privileges from murders that at the time were excessive,
like early release from sentences for good behaviour.
VOCAL has now changed direction and targets social issues of the day such as juvenile criminal behavior.
Brian is an former Rotarian with 30 years experience.
