Childrens Aid Society

One of the first vocational visits was with Childrens Aid Society which is a child protection organisation equivalent to the NSW Dept of Community Services.
We met with the Executive Director, Len Kennedy (Stuarts Host Family) and his management staff.
The staff showed us around the organisation and I must say we were very impressed with the dedication and service that the organisation provided.
At lunch Melissa and Stuart gave presentations to the staff of CAS and executive directors from other local community mental health organisations. This was a great experience not only for ourselves but for all of the people involved as we could share our knowledge on an international scale.
We then proceeded on to view the services that CAS provided and observrd some of the processes that take place in a childrens welfare service.
Whilst leaving the facility we noticed that Len Kennedy had organised an electronic billboard sign saying "welcome Melissa and Stuart from Rotary Australia"...........
Celebrities!
