What Yasmine said about Barnardos:
“Barnardos is a charity that really champions Australian youth who often suffer from violence, abuse, homelessness and poverty through their support programs. It’s all about connecting or giving families life skills and resilience to help them rebuild their lives. It also offers, for the families that become unsafe, it offers adoption and foster care for kids as well.
The Yurungai Learning Centre is something that Tom and I have become a corporate partner for BA its an afterschool care program that really tries to bridge the gap between youth today and how you went through cultural activities and education to always make the kids come out on top. So that’s really what it aims to do and its really focused on Indigenous and Torres Strait Islander children as well. So it presents afternoon care and its usually the place where kids get their last hot meal of the day. A lot of the kids there are in housing where maybe 20 families, family members live at, many times its overcrowding. We’ve been fortunate enough to take the team to build Coolamons. Its about connecting indigenous children to their country and making sure they remember so we have done such a shit job at making them forget.”
