A Youth With A Mission Team that has been volunteering at Christmas Island has unfortunately caused a bit of controversy.
The YWAM team has been providing sports, arts and other similar activities to the detainees of an Australian Immigration Detention centre on Christmas Island. The team was asked to come in by the company running the detention centre to help to augment what was already available at the centre.
There have been no complaints lodged against the YWAM team, but a human rights commission is investigating if the company running the centre is trying to save money by bringing in the YWAM team.
