MAKE A REAL DIFFERENCE WITH US Hey folks, would you like to help keep our Kapululangu Women’s Law and Culture Centre open and make a real difference for our Aboriginal Women Elders in one of Australia’s most remote Desert communities? We’re located in Balgo Aboriginal Community in the south-east Kimberley. We’re Australia’s only Aboriginal Women’s Law and Culture Centre and we’re severely disadvantaged by being so very, very remote. We have no funding. Our Women Elders grew up in the desert before they had first contact with White society. They wish to live together on the Women’s Law Ground where they can continue to practice their Law and culture and enjoy the company of their families rather than live in a mainstream-run Aged Care facility in someone else’s Country. They want to keep teaching their Younger Generations - to be proud of their Aboriginality, to be Strong for Law - Strong for Culture. Kapululangu is looking for the following volunteers: Marlpa (Companions) (in Balgo) (women-only - sorry, can’t accommodate men or children) - come and stay a month (or two or three) with us helping to care for the Elders. Live on the Women’s Law (ceremonial) Ground in Balgo with us. Job includes providing personal care, cooking and cleaning, driving and occasional picnics and hunting trips to Country. We’re currently looking to fill October or November, but if you are available any time this year or next we want to hear from you. Please get in touch with us for more information. Marlpa Manager (Volunteer Program Manager) (women-only) - We’re looking for a very special woman with a background in Aged Care to live with and care for the Women Elders for 6 months (minimum) to 12 months, be their main carer, and manage our volunteer program.
