Introduction
Statistics show that an Indigenous person's life expectancy in Australia is 71.4 years compared to 81.4 years for others. Even with Government initiatives such as Closing the Gap, a big gap still exists between indigenous Australians and the rest of the population
Report
We have met with the local community board and identified new initiatives for the youths. We have approved (donations permitting) to install a community garden for youths, create seating and safe pathways including shading and lighting in seating areas, to engage the youth and provide access to clean water for safe drinking and hand washing. In addition to creating a safe community space for youths we also will identify and provide training and scholarships to aspiring youths. We only have $1643 to go to reach our target!
