Let Arc distract you in a meaningful way each fortnight.
Walama Muru
Walama Muru: The term means 'a return of road or path' and that's exactly what Walama Muru does by forging new connections and reinforcing old ones between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians. And what better way for Walama Muru to get this done than to offer an opportunity for UNSW students to travel to a regional Aboriginal community in order to learn and share in the local Aboriginal culture.
The program is run in partnership with the UNSW Nura Gili Indigenous Resource Centre, and volunteers will undertake community development projects, utilising the funds they raise throughout 2012 for their travel arrangements, accommodation, and required materials while in the community.
The program is well known amongst previous volunteers and contributors and within Arc and Nura Gili circles as an engaging and worthwhile initiative. At its core, Walama Muru represents an opportunity for students to be a part of a real and practical demonstration of true reconciliation - one that incites real and lasting change.
So go make your mark in 2012 - and be a part of that change!
