Work of BMRSG – Swimming Lessons
Every Tuesday 14 asylum seeker children arrive at Blacktown Aquatic Centre for their swimming lesson.
It’s such a happy day for everyone. Not only are the children taking part in the Aus Swim program they are enjoying the social interaction with each other. This program is thanks to the donations of all those through Local Hero.
