Making scones at the Volunteering Otago school holiday programme at St Clair Presbyterian Church yesterday are (from left) Helena Chen (12), Bethan Dunstone-Leitch (12) and Abbey Hamilton (13).
The children, aged between 11 and 13, have also spent the week helping at the SPCA, cleaning up beaches and parks and will present a show from 1pm to 2pm tomorrow on Otago Access Radio, youth co-ordinator Heather Moore said. The 14 children became involved in the programme ''to help the community and because we want to make a difference'', Thirza Smith (11) said.
