StormCo

[amiel]

Hi, Just wondering if all you people have heard of StormCo. (Service to others really matters)

It's been happening in Australia for quite a few years now... Taking a group of youth to a community to help them out with and run a kids club.

Just thought I should share this as you may find that youth at your church might like to organise their own StormCo trip.

My local church sends out 2 teams of about 15 once a year to smaller remote towns. Unfortunately there are no pics online that I know of.

Here's the official division site regarding stormco:

kewl thanks for that Amiel, and to think that until this year I only thought it was going there to help the community with something they needed help with (ie building a playground, fixing a building up, cleaning a designated area up) and not the kids club. *shakes head in disgrace* I know, I know you've always gotta have a kids club, but back home they always emphasised the "work" side of things you do in the arvos. Oh and the fellowship with each other and the smiles of the locals and the kid's faces.

This is great! Not all kids want to join Pathfinders because of obligations at school, sports, etc, so this is a good opportunity for those that want to be involved! Thanks for telling us!

I don't thing STORMCo has made its way to the US yet.

It must be close to 15 years since it has been here in Australia.
