The Osoyoos Soroptimist  sponsored interactive program TCO² coming to the Elementary  Schools in Oliver, Osoyoos, Okanagan Falls, and Keremeos on May 7 and 8th  will provide a timely ‘back-up program’ for adults.

The Osoyoos Soroptimists are  proud to offer an evening Parent Session May 7th, at 7 p.m. at the Osoyoos Mini Theatre.

This informative support program will provide the parents of the Grades 6/7 students with an opportunity to learn about  the current social media  issues, how to recognize the problems.

This adult   program is developed by the Children of the Street Society, and deals with   exploitation in the social media, on-line and web-cam safety, and drug and alcohol   prevention  strategies and where to seek help.

This program is free. This adult workshop will be facilitated by Diane Sowden, founding Executive Director of the Children o  the Street Society.

Ms. Sowden lost her 13-year old daughter to the sex trade, and has devoted her time and   abilities to prevent the exploitation of children and youth in British Columbia.
