Volunteer for Isolated Student Education

Sharyn Whiting gave a very interesting, moving, funny and at times sad talk on her experience as a volunteer teacher in the outback working for VISE.  Not only did Sharyn teach isolated children their school work but she has also been a jack of all trades, helping with the farm animals, house sitting homesteads when the family are away and cleaning whole houses after huge dust storms.  She is so involved with the children that she teaches she is almost their nanny.  These children, and their families, are and will remain, life long friends.
