MAKE A POSITIVE DIFFERENCE IN THE LIFE OF A YOUNG PERSON The Family Works Buddy Programme currently has 12 local children matched with couples or individuals who share time, experiences and have fun together on a weekly basis. Buddies are matched according to shared interests, location, personality and needs. Wanaka Buddy Coordinator Sharon Bell is eager to hear from other adults who enjoy time spent with children and who would like to donate a couple of hours each week to a child aged between 4 - 12 years old who needs additional adult support or friendship. “As we live in a rural area, Wanaka children are often a long distance from extended family, so opportunities for encouragement
and guidance from another adult can make a wonderful contribution to their wellbeing,” says Sharon. Prospective buddy volunteers attend an initial training course covering communication skills, guidelines and how to build a positive relationship with a child. The Buddy Coordinator gives continuing support to adult volunteers as they become friends and good role models for their young buddies. Please contact Sharon Bell: 021 2232 265 or email buddywanaka@psotago.org.nz if you want to make a difference in the life of a young child.
