Marg Cressman, Child Abuse Prevention Coordinator (L) and Jill Robertson (M) and Nicole O'Neill (R) both Parent Support and Education Workers at Rural Response for Healthy Children in Clinton along with their 'Kids on the Block' puppets accept a $6,000 donation from Bruce Power.

Bruce Power recently visited with the team at Rural Response for Healthy Children, a Clinton-based community service organization which the company has provided funding for since 2008.

The parent education workers were on hand to talk about the ‘Kids on the Block’ program, which reaches out to teachers and students in Grades 3 and 4 in schools across Huron County. Trained volunteer puppeteers bring important messages about child safety and awareness of physical and sexual abuse.

In addition to working with the students, the program now offers professional development workshops for educators.

For more information about the services they provide like the ‘Toys for Homes Everywhere’ toy lending program or the Kinderoo – School Readiness Program, visit the group’s website at www.rrhc.on.ca.
