Barnardos featured on Three Food Memories podcast

Episode now live. VBO Australia presents Three Food Memories with Yasmine Ghoniem, YSG Studio. Hosted by Savva Savvas.⁠

Yasmine is the director and founder of one of Australia’s most awarded design outfits @ysg.studio, and co-host of @abcaustralia’s Grand Designs Transformations. ⁠

Born to an Australian mother and Egyptian father in Kuwait, Yasmine’s food memories tell the unconventional tales of her nomadic life and how becoming an acclaimed interior designer wasn’t by design.⁠

Yasmine and her husband Tom “the jaw man” chose @barnardos_au as their social cause.⁠

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.”
