Boppin’ Babies support Cambodian orphans

Boppin’ Babies music groups for babies and toddlers is offering school holiday programs in January 2011 at Chermside to raise funds for Sunshine Children’s Villages in Cambodia.

The 30 minute sessions for children under four years of age include singing, moving to music, playing instruments and musical play on Tuesday 11th, Thursday 13th, Tuesday 18th and Thursday 20th January 2011.

The sessions will run each day at the River of Life Church Hall at 240 Hamilton Road (corner Hamilton and Pfingst Street) Chermside and cost just $10 per family payable on the day for children under four years of age, their siblings and carers.

Director Vicky Abad said Boppin’ Babies is a socially inclusive program that encourages closeness in families through music sharing and bonding.

“Australian children and families are very fortunate to have access to music programs like ours which promote early childhood development and nurture relationships between parents and their babies,” Ms Abad said.

“Many children in Cambodia often don’t have parents let alone access to music in the home environment.
“Our Christmas school holiday program will celebrate the role of parents and carers while helping to raise funds for two orphanages in Siem Reap and Phnom Penh which support hundreds of orphaned and disadvantaged Cambodian children,” she said.

The Christmas school holiday sessions will run at 9:15am, 10:15am, 11am and 3pm. Spaces are limited and bookings are essential.
