Sailors
buddy-up
Sailors from HMAS Kuttabul have again volunteered to help Kings
Cross police with their ongoing program to help disadvantaged
local school children.
Seven junior sailors are now meeting with the children on a weekly
basis and each will “buddy” with a youngster during an upcoming
camp.
Since the police began the program there has been a reduction
in crime in the Darlinghurst/Woolloomooloo area.
Last year Princess Anne visited the Plunkett Street Public School
to talk with the police and sailors and to study the program.
