Rawa's story

Making the most of a lovely summer’s day, our young client Rawa visited ZooDoo with a Nexus support worker.

Together, they explored the animal park, petting and feeding wallabies.

Rawa enjoyed looking at a vintage tractor and was mesmerised by large animal sculptures throughout the park.  

He had the biggest smile on his face after spending some time with some of the bouncy friends at the park!
