About Children for Change Inc
Who We AreChildren for Change Inc are a local Cairns based not for profit organisation founded in 2014 by local twin sisters Mia & Sylvia Conway.
Children for Change Inc have the goals of providing a doorway for children to connect with and learn about their natural world. Through knowledge comes understanding and with understanding comes an appreciation and respect that these children can take with them into their adult years. |
Our VisionWe believe that nature is the perfect classroom for children to gain important life skills and that constant exposure is vital to a child's health and well-being. The paradox of this is that our natural environment needs our children now more than ever, as its future lies in the values and beliefs we instil in our children today.
Our aim is to get children back outdoors where they can learn about, gain an appreciation and respect for their natural environment & in doing so build healthy bodies & happy minds. |
