“Wow” is all we can say about the progress on the bus in the last month. It is now looking more like a house in a bus, than a bus. We are getting closer to travelling Australia. It’s really very exciting now. And somewhat frightening because it means we only have about 6 weeks to […]
Australian Tour
In 2015, The Root Cause is taking their mission to Transform Children's Health, One Lunch Box At A Time on the road around Australia. On tour along with me will be my amazing husband, Israel Smith, and our two children Indrani (8 year old) and Rilien (then 4 years old).
Our aim is to educate children and parents in a fun and interactive way about healthy lunch boxes. The areas we will be covering include:
- What is a wholefood and what is a processed food
- Understanding carbohydrates, fats and proteins, and why all of them are important
- Understanding how sugar affects mood, behaviour and learning
- What is an additive and preservative, and how they affect mood, behaviour and learning
- How to read the labels on food packets
You can read more about the Mission here, but for the moment, we thought we'd start to share our journey and all the things we are doing as a family to prepare us for a life on the road. This is the bus we've bought which make taking our mission around Australia possible. Follow us here over the coming months to watch our bus transform into our home and our branded mission on wheels.
If your school or community group would be interested in learning more about our Healthy Lunch Box Program, please email me at belinda@therootcause.com.au.

Bus and Travel Progress Aug and Sept
If you’ve been following our progress in preparing for our trip around Australia, you’ll probably recall that in July we shared we were somewhat behind in the build of converting our bus to a motor home and mobile billboard for our mission. And that it had been a particularly frustrating but full-on month. If you […]
Bus Progress July
Last month we shared how we bought a bus. This bus will be our home, the kids’ school and our business premises for 18 months starting next year as we travel Australia and take our mission to Transform Children’s Health, One Lunch Box At A Time to as many children and parents as possible. The decision […]
We Bought A Bus!
This is the bus which will become our family home and The Root Cause Head Quarters as we take our mission to Transform Children’s Health, One Lunch Box At A Time around Australia. We bought it on Monday 16th June, 2014, to be precise. It’s big, it’s loud, it’s (mostly) rust-free, and it is the PERFECT […]
