Two local teens organize a support group for foster children.
On Saturday, October 16th, local teens Suzy Smith, Shayne Stewart, Scott Sye, and Sasha Simmons took 28 foster children to the local park on Smythe Street.
With support from their parents and other relatives, the teens were able to organize a group called KJWHF, which stands for "Kids Just Wanna Have Fun". Shayne and Scott declared that, "The reasoning behind the name is literally just what it says. Children are known for having fun, and we decided to help them to learn while enjoying themselves."
Since the previous Saturday, the group is planning on taking the children to the local park every week and they are currently attempting to fund for a field trip to the Zoo in Snapfield. Head to https://ca.gofundme.com/KJWHF to donate to the cause.
Leader of the group, Sasha Simmons, said, "Taking the children to the park helps them to experience the act of kindness, manners and sharing."
Suzy Smith stated, "The children learn easily when having fun, and by playing in the park they can learn to be polite and wait their turn while having fun."
Sierra Sage, whom is a child attending the program, told Saint Stewart News that the program is what she looks forward to every week. She is pictured to the right, enjoying her turn the slide.
On Wednesday evenings, from 4:30-6:30, the KJWH are planning regular meetings at the Saint Stewart hall to help the children learn about experiences they might encounter, and do fun crafts!
