โœจ Thank You Yerrabi Yurwang Child and Family Aboriginal Corporation for organising Yuma Day! โœจ

It was a pleasure for Care Inc Financial Counselling Service to be one of the many stallholders at Yuma Day. Thank you to everyone who stopped by our stall for a chat and to learn more about the support available in the community.

The dance performances were amazing, and it was truly special to hear the talks and connect with Yerrabi clients and community members throughout the day.

A big highlight was also meeting the team from Canberra Zoo, who brought along some incredible native wildlife. One of our brave staff members even had the chance to pet a snake! ๐Ÿ

Weโ€™re grateful to have been part of such a meaningful event celebrating and supporting the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community. We hope to see everyone again soon and continue working together to support the community. ๐Ÿ’›

'Keriba gesep agiakar dikwarda keriba mir. Ableglam keriba Mir pako Tonar nole atakemurkak.'

'The land actually gave birth to our language. Language and culture are inseparable.'

This quote is from Bua Benjamin Mabo, Meriam linguist.

Tomorrow, 21 February, we celebrate International Mother Language Day and note that in Australia there are more than 250 Indigenous languages including around 800 dialects.

Wherever you are from, keeping your ties to language keeps your culture strong. Kids who grow up speaking two or more languages at home have excellent comprehension and critical thinking skills and itโ€™s a great way to introduce them to their roots.

Celebrate your mother tongue today, and every day - and this is a special shout out to our Ngunnawal and other multi-language-speaking locals!
