Yurungai End of Year Celebration

To wrap up 2024, we were fortunate enough to have the incredible volunteers from AMF join us again to celebrate the children of Yurungai Learning Centre at their End of Year celebration which was held at Pancake on the Rocks. We were joined by Centre leaders Aunty Viv and Uncle Bruce, who provide vital academic and cultural support for children that attend the Aboriginal Learning Centre. AMF treat the children to a meal to celebrate their achievements and those that are graduating to High School each year. The event is always filled with laughter, festive cheer, and a heartwarming sense of community to conclude the year.

“On December 10th, I joined Gaylene from Unity Bank to host 25 kids and supporters from the Yurungai Learning Centre to a Christmas celebration at Pancakes on the Rocks at Darling Harbour. It was a fantastic experience as we interacted with the kids and got to hear their stories. Their joy and enthusiasm for life is so inspiring.”
–Paul Dawson, Foundation Manager, Australian Mutual Foundation

WHAT WE SEE

We see beyond the sleepover in cars and understand the underlying issues.

After escaping family violence, a parent and their child have nowhere safe to stay and are
currently waiting for refuge accommodation.
