It was very special to go with four school councillors to Ronald McDonald House and the playroom of the Children's ward at the hopsital to give them the books that had been donated for our Book Character Day. They were so excited to receive so many lovely books!
Part of Ronald McDonald House has been damaged in the earthquakes so they are only using half of the building. We got to see a room where families living at the house stay and a lounge and kitchen area. The room was just like a hotel room with a double and single bed, a bathroom and a place to make cups of tea.
At the hospital the nurse and play specialists were very excited to have some lots of new books to share with the children who are in hospital. They were looking froward to having some new stories to read! They were overwhelmed with everyone's generosity!
Thank you everyone - you have made some sick children's day!
