Many in the newsXpress family connect with their community is truly wonderful and valuable ways. Take Brendan and Rita Mason from newsXpress Sunbury Square who are this week hosting some young indigenous footballers in their home.
Here is a video of some of the players talking about their football experiences and what they mean…
Here are some thoughts Brendan had to share:
Some of these guys have grown up in really rough circumstances but Ian McAdam, my niece Cassandra and others are trying show them that life can be better. Football, aussie rules and in the future other codes, is the glue that is bringing them together and is used to encourage them to put effort into their education. As a nation we do so much for worthy causes overseas but little exposure is given to those in our own country who need help and guidance. Here is an opportunity to influence a generation of indigenous Australians and show them that life can be positive.
Yes, we have some wonderfully community engaged members in newsXpress.
