    • Banardos
    • Love Soup
    • Salvation Army
    • Youth Centre
    • Womens Refuge
    • Zonta
    • Rotary
  • What services do they provide to the community?
  • How do you access these services?
  • How are they funded?
  • Would you consider this organisation for our Pay it Forward mini market?
  • Why? Why not?
  • How could these organisations have helped the children in the articles selected in the above activity?
Work on groups but you must put you individual work on the blog.
