Paul, Manager of the Australian Mutuals Foundation was delighted to join Gaylene from Unity Bank to host the kids from the Barnardos Australia Yurungai Learning Centre at their end of year dinner. It was a highly enjoyable event, with our team sharing laughs and festive cheer with the Yurungai students.
"On December 10th, Gaylene and I hosted 25 kids and supporters from Yurungai 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, AMF Manager.
Located in Waterloo, Sydney, an area with a large Indigenous community, the Yurungai Learning Centre delivers a range of after school services to around 30 children aged between 5 and 12 years of age, offering support with homework, cultural learning, life skills, self-confidence and the provision of nutritious meals.
The Australian Mutuals Foundation's funding is used to support the Yurungai Centre's literacy and numeracy program with the key objective to help close the education achievement gap that exists between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal primary school students. The aim is to have children at Yurungai achieving curriculum benchmark levels or above, in both literacy and numeracy.
