Kambarang Cultural Connections 2024

Two years, seven connection events, countless partners, and more children attending than ever before.

It’s hard to put into words the impact of the Connecting Aboriginal Children in Care project. Initiated by local Aboriginal Practice Leaders, Brenda van der Hor and Stephen Loo, this project creates invaluable opportunities for children in care to build and maintain relationships with their families, culture, and community.

While attending a single event offers benefits, it’s the repeated participation over time that truly deepens these connections and amplifies the positive outcomes. The latest event – Kambarang Connections Day – saw the highest attendance of children and family members/carers yet, as word of mouth continues to spread.

Uncle Gerrard welcomed the children and their families to country, Binar Futures painted faces and performed dances and had lots of the children on their feet being Yongkas (kangaroos) and Wetjs (emus), and Create Foundation had the kids rolling around the field playing bubble soccer. The City of Cockburn were once again generous hosts.
