OzKids Magazine

Edition 3 - 2020

Students have been home schooling, on and off now, for over six months. It has been a different and somewhat difficult year for so many. Which reminds us, that we can only do what we can, and we are going through this. The World is going through this challenge together. I see friends in Texas home schooling their children, with one who has just started High School this month.

While I have heard that some students are loving the quiet and somewhat uninterrupted work time, others need more guidance. Friends need to support each other even more. Art entries have come from some schools that have never sent in entries before. The home school life, has meant that some students have taken to art as an escape, and some wonderful work has been sent in. Whatever you are completing, is better than not trying.

I say CAN’T is a CAN with a (k)not(t) in it. So untie that (k)not(t) and give it your best. Keep being the best you can be.

In Memory of Rob Leonard, Our Founder

It is with great sadness that the Board of Directors, staff, and myself from the Children’s Charity Network must inform you of the passing of our founder, Mr Rob Leonard, following a 14-month battle with Cancer. We pass our condolences to Rob’s friends and family at this terrible time.

Rob was a wonderful, caring man with a passion for service and charity. His vision to influence young Australians through literacy 25 years ago has impacted thousands, who will all be saddened by this news. In honour of Rob, I look forward to growing his vision and continuing to advocate for the value of literacy and arts.

Please take a moment to reflect upon Rob’s impact on you, and remember his uncompromising belief in the power of Art and Writing.

Rob, you will be truly missed but never far away from our thoughts. 

May Rob’s memory be a blessing.

Jason Woods
Children’s Charity Network Board and Community
