COVID-19 and keeping connected in remote Australia
We have recently decided to postpone our planned Outback Links volunteering placements to reduce the risk of spreading COVID-19 to remote Australia. It was a hard decision, but we’re working closely with our Aussie farmers and our Bush Chaplains to build and maintain connections with people in remote communities.
