Volunteer of the Month - Robert Hall

Our Volunteer of the Month for July 2011 is Robert Hall.

Rob is our youngest volunteer of the month so far and considering he joined our volunteer program over two years ago it makes his effort all the more outstanding. Rob is a student at Wodonga Secondary College and as part of their work placement program, Rob elected to volunteer at Parklands Albury Wodonga on a weekly basis. It is a credit to him and his family that he always attended on time and he showed great passion in the environmental tasks which he undertook with us. Sadly Rob has finished his work experience with us but we wish him well with his VCE Exams and with the career path that he chooses after his schooling.
