HELPING
Our speaker this year is Ruth Beale.
Hello, my name is Ruth Beale, and I have been involved in CFFD for 40 years.
I was chairperson of the Wellington CCFD branch for some years and then went out to the Philippines as the first CFFD missionary and came home and started the Philippine Christian Fellowship For Disabled Sponsorship programme, now Elevate Philippines Sponsorship Programme, which I have continued to run for the past 30 years.
I am married and live in the Manawatu. I am involved in other Christian organisations apart from CFFD. I am part of a local church fellowship, and as part of that, we run five rest-home church services a month. I am also the Manawatu coordinator for Missions Without Borders, which involves collecting and baling knitted items to go to Eastern Europe.
I enjoy knitting, crocheting, cooking and making cards.
I look forward to seeing you all at the Auckland CFFD camp in 2025.
Blessings
Ruth
More Information
Campers with a disability: This camp is for you!
We will pair you up with a buddy to provide friendship, care and support for camp.
Personal Care: Some campers require a high level of personal care and you will need to bring your own support person. This ensures your care continues at the high level you are familiar with. We will try to provide an additional buddy/carer to assist over the weekend. If you are unable to provide a support person, lease register as a day visitor only.
Helpers: For those who are coming as helpers, we welcome you with open arms! There will be time set aside on Friday evening to train you how to help your buddies. You will be fully supported all weekend by your cabin leader, the camp committee and an on-site nurse. We cannot stress enough how much we value and need our helpers.
We cannot hold our camp without you.
We need to update our records so will require that all helpers complete a police check form to protect our more vulnerable campers.
Children and Teenagers: This camp is for people of ALL ages, and therefore children with physical disabilities are more than welcome! We will provide alternative activities during the weekend if required. Please note that we will carefully select buddies who will work with children. There will be late nights, with an afternoon sleep on the Saturday. You are welcome to come as a family, and we ask that you please call or text Viv Riddell on (021) 294 0320 to discuss this.
