Deaf and Blind Camp - Phillip Island, Victoria

Hi Everyone

I am hoping to get everyone's support to help a participant we support, to attend a deaf and blind camp in Victoria on the 8th - 10th April.

Wayne is blind and has no family in Australia as he is from NZ. It is it really hard to build connection with other people in different areas that are going through the similar things to Wayne.

Connection and understanding are so very important as we all know. I would really like to see Wayne attend this camp where he can be around others, build friendships where he feels like they have lived experiences.

Camp details are as follows-

This would also require flights/transport from camp.

I really hope you can help me achieve this goal for Wayne.
