Remote & Isolated Children's Exercise, incorporating Outback Childcare.
Description
Remote & Isolated Childrens Exercise, otherwise known as RICE provides health, welfare, pre-school education, child-care, resources and play experiences to rural and remote families living in outback South Australia. The 'Remote and Isolated Children's Exercise' page is designed to spread the word of this fantastic organisation. It is hoped that people will 'like' and share with friends, allowing RICE to reach an audience far and wide. It is hoped that by raising our profile we may gain the support of other companies and organisations to be able to grow and better what is already a one of a kind service to our states remote families. RICE also have a 'friends' page and 'current member's' page which we would still liked to be used for any correspondances between members and so forth. This page will be more for promoting upcoming events to everyone who 'likes' us, reminders of services available, and just the general "going's" on at RICE. Please pass the word around!
