Stories Of Belmont Edition 1, 2015

World Breastfeeding
Week  August 1 - 7

This year's theme is "Breastfeeding Support: Close to Mothers", highlighting breastfeeding peer counselling, an approach that tackles the sharp decline in breastfeeding rates and
practices in the weeks or months after delivery, particularly exclusive breastfeeding.

To support this initiative South Barwon Community Centre is making its first
edition of Stories Of Belmont a celebration of your experience in breastfeeding

Share your insightful, individual and entertaining stories about your experience with breastfeeding to bring about awareness and education to improve the health of babies.

We want to hear your breastfeeding story, it doesn’t have to be long or written
professionally, just your story in your own words and 500 words or less. It can be a story or anecdote, or poetry or anything else you can think of you can put into words and pictures.

Celebrate your experience with breastfeeding and encourage others to do so, share your culture and customs and family traditions. Be an active participant in World Breastfeeding Week and promote this important stage of all baby’s early development.

The deadline for story submissions is Friday July 31st.

Submit your stories in person at our offices at 33 Mt Pleasant Rd. Belmont, 3216 or email them to sbcommunitycentre@gmail.com

For assistance in writing your story please don’t hesitate to contact the centre via email or call on 5243 8388 to make an appointment. SBCC will try to accommodate translating of your own native language into English where possible if English is not your first language.

What is Stories Of Belmont?

Stories of Belmont is a community project from the South Barwon Community Centre to
document and celebrate the individual stories of people in our community. Each month there will be a publication of stories from local contributors telling their own personal stories based on a theme related to special days or weeks of the month.

Authors retain all copyright of their stories, publications will be available to borrow through the South Barwon Community Centre as well as copies given to participants. Extra copies can be supplied on demand at $2.50 each.

The other thing is that our email address is now sbcc3216@telstra.com our info@sbcc.org.au address isn't active currently. We hope this situation gets sorted out soon but we can assure it's business as usual at South Barwon Community Centre.

Honour your time out and connect with others, using art as the process.

You don’t have to be an artist – you just need to come along with a sense of fun, willingness to connect with your inner-self and in return you will re-energise.

Time to escape your busy life and enter into a few hours of self-love, tranquillity and fun.

Connecting with your inner wisdom

Honour the wisdom of your body as we journey inwards by connecting with your map of your internal self - using art. You will be guided on an inner journey and self-discover parts of you that exist, which may otherwise lay dormant.  A wonderful experience to understand ourselves better, through the experience of using art as a tool to self-discovery, self-awareness and growth.  Exploring our inner landscape develops the capacity to be loving toward ourselves,

by connecting with our inner world.

We're accepting book donations up to this date so please drop off your unwanted books to our offices at 33 Mt Pleasant Rd, Belmont during offices hours, 9am to 4pm Monday to Friday.

SBCC has made some changes to some of the computer/technology courses also, which are reflected in the downloadable program below our Term 4 program. Numerous courses have been extended to allow for more content to be covered in a less strict time frame. This is something that we hope allows for more information to be covered, in the Buying & Selling On eBay course, for example, there has a been a new session developed to focus on product photography to better sell your items and other skills for selling more effectively.
