Orana Haven is an Aboriginal Residential Drug and Alcohol Residential Rehabilitation Centre. Located in a remote part of New South Wales, clients undertake drug and alcohol rehabilitation activities throughout the time they are there. Whilst they are busy most of the time with their rehabilitation activities, they do have spare time.
Many of the clients have expressed a desire for reading materials to enjoy as part of their recreational activities. If you and, or your friends, or organisation have spare reading materials – books, magazines, comics etc., and would love them to have a new home and new readers, then Orana Haven is the place to send them.
For the clients, their time at Orana Haven is a life-changing experience and your gift of reading materials is supporting these changes and introducing them to a new world of reading for enjoyment and learning. It also demonstrates to Orana Haven’s clients that the wider world is thinking of them, have heard their call and answered it.
Reading introduces new readers to a whole new world of adventure, fun, learning and imagination; it can be a very positive life change that complements their rehabilitation from a dark world of addiction and can be a catalyst for positive inner change.
If you would like to donate books to a very worthwhile cause, then please post your reading materials to:
