Re: Amazing developement on my Wildlife centre

That is stunning news Kymba. I hope it takes off in a big way for you. The kids can certainly benefit from schemes like this and I hope it mushrooms into other schools coming on board.

We could do with more people like your good self. With more schemes like this involving children of the age you are looking at I can see a lot more children staying on the straight and narrow in the future. Certainly not only can the children benefit bit so can our wildlife as a result of more understanding on the way nature works. Good luck with it all.

On a different note, and this is not a criticism in any way as these checks may have all ready been put in place, but have the school done any sort of checks on you. This is not just for you but anyone that is invited to take part in teaching children. I would hope they have something in place because you really don't know who you are inviting into a school nowadays.

I know you are fully aware of this need and are prepared for it but it beggars belief that a school can just invite someone along to look after children of that age.

I feel awful pointing that out but my hackles came up a bit when it seemed like a school appeared a bit naive in their initial approach to you. Mind you that could be answered by the source where they got your name from. I suppose if it is a tried and trusted source then that is ok.

Just my ramblings, and I hope you don't take offense by what I have said as I really do hope it takes off in a big way. Not only that but when it does it will make interesting reading on WAB as the project gets off the ground.
