KNH Volunteer of the Year

Pam Luizzi

Pam Luizzi began volunteering at KNH in 2018 in the Family Literacy Program. As a retired EAL teacher she was well suited to the role. Pam had previously worked in out of school programs supporting students with refugee backgrounds.

In 2019 Pam offered herself as a volunteer in the Form Filling Program. This program helps people with low levels of English and literacy to fill out government documentation and other forms.

Pam is friendly, reliable, caring and dedicated. That’s why she’s KNH Volunteer of the Year for 2019.

Helping hands in the kitchen

Seb and Viviana

Our long term volunteer Ben is currently away on holidays so Sebastian (on work experience from Simmonds College) and Viviana helped out in the kitchen today. They served lunch for our Wednesday Social Group, did the dishes and even managed to sit in on a few games of bingo. Thanks for your help!

David makes reading fun

The program itself was a finalist in the category “Outstanding Out-of-School-Hours Learning Support Program (community based)”. Congratulations to all involved.
