Many of us are aware of the impact of the bushfires in Australia to its native animal population. This year for the One School, One Book service project we have chosen the WIRES organization. WIRES has been in operation for 30 years and is one of Australia's largest wildlife rescue organizations. Their mission is "WIRES mission is to actively rehabilitate and preserve Australian wildlife and inspire others to do the same." If you would like more information, please click here.
