An Inspiring Message from a Yalari Parent

Koby has spent the past 2 years working as a teacher’s aide back at his old primary school and is hoping to head to uni next year to study primary education.

Jaycee is heading to ACU in Melbourne next year to study primary education also. We all know that we need more Indigenous teachers in the education sector to help our younger generations.

They both wear their Yalari clothing with pride and love to tell people about Yalari when the opportunity arises.

From the bottom of my heart, I as a parent can not thank you enough. To Waverly and Llew you are the most caring, kind, compassionate and giving people I have ever met. Not only for the work you do to help the younger generation but by welcoming them into your home and heart as family. I could never thank you enough for what you have done for Koby and Jaycee.

To the amazing staff, volunteers and sponsors. Words can not express how grateful we are for the hard work you put in for our kids to help keep Yalari going. You really are changing the lives of Indigenous children in this country.”

We recently received this heartwarming message from Lauren Wescott, mother of Jaycee and Koby Sellings.
