As a small business project with the youth in Ducaten Village, developed a poster to show the concept of Carer Care Inc.

Using a community development model, members of the Ducaten Village were engaged to assist with developing a poster that depicted the ethos of Carer Care Inc. As we had no specific printing materials, potatoes were used as the stamps and poster paint to add colour on calico. The first 'showing' of the poster was at a conference in Adelaide, Australia.

Not defined by adversity 

We all had to make changes during the pandemic and be inventive about how we could provide service.  A book of eight stories of inspiring people who have and continue to push through difficult times was compiled with each author receiving ten copies to distribute as they chose. Profits received from the sale of the book are donated directly to the work of Carer Care Inc. Each author was encouraged to write their story and most talked of their faith and how that sustains them through difficult times.
