National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Children's Day is celebrated around Australia annually on August 4. It is a time during which all Australians join with Indigenous families and communities to show our support for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children. The day is also a chance to learn about the crucial impact that culture, family, and community play in the life of every First Nations child.
The vision of the Grow Hope Foundation is the creation of opportunities for Indigenous young people as we aspire for them to find their place in a future where all Australians walk and grow together. Our educational programs create generational change by connecting Aboriginal children in Victoria and the Northern Territory with experiences that empower them to lead lives full of choice, connection and opportunity.
This Children's Day, we're raising funds to support our programs and deepen our impact in the community. On Thursday, August 4, we invite you to consider making a donation at www.mycause.com.au/page/288674/childrens-day-fundraising-appeal
All funds raised will help us realise our plans to expand the reach and use of Hope House in Darwin, enable schools in disadvantaged communities to access cultural education through Wanyara, and deliver development projects that set young Indigenous Australians up for success in later life.
'Every child is born into a story. That story comes from their family's history and ancestral connections. That child must then shape that story into their own, through created experiences, whilst finding their place within family, community, and in society.' (SNAICC - National Voice for our Children)
