IT might sound like a big night out but Liquid
Laughter has a more serious side.
Runcorn's Sonya Trout has been busy signing up restaurants and
cafes for the Camp Quality program, which urges diners to donate a
gold coin for every jug of water on their table.
She said the charity hoped to raise $15,000 from the program,
allowing it to bring happiness to the lives of children affected by
cancer through fun therapy.
It was a major task for the 22-year-old, who joined Camp Quality
for some work experience, while studying at the University of
Queensland.
But the hard work had been rewarding, she said.
"I really like the organisation's fun environment.
Fun therapy is what we live by. I have had such a great experience
here. Everyone is so welcoming." The experience had made Miss Trout
think about staying in the charity field.
"They need so much help at Camp Quality and it is such a great
cause." Go to www.campquality.
