Fresh from the 2019 Walk the Talk schools programme, participant Rowan Howes from Barker College, answered the breakfast call. Upon hearing that our Shelter often runs low on cereal and milk, Rowan and his family 'activated' their street in Pymble and today we collected a bootload of breakfast goodness.
