Description The Jimmy Little Foundation have released a health campaign involving several communities. This is a song from the Gapluwlyak community about drinking water.
In the past 4 weeks there have been 4 fatalities as a relust of youth suicide in the West Kimberley. The urgency for people with the experience of David Cole to visit the region is desperatley needed. I heard the radio interview on the A.B.C. and many of his recommendations need to be implemented asap. I myself can relate to what he described as I have experienced many traumas in my own life. There needs to be a means to an end . Many of these young men feel caught between 2 worlds and disconnected. They are surrounded and embedded in a modern society focused on the importance of being successful from a western perspective. In addition modern technology is attributing to lowering their communication skills . They lack access to country and culture due to numerous social factors facilitated by economic hardship and consistent parenting , due to inter generation issues.Our young warriers are calling out yet not talking we all need to start listening to their hearts , minds and spirits, in order for them to have psychological cushions in times of despair. Keep up the good work and I hope you can access funding to support your organisation . Kaya Kaya meaning good bye in my language Nyunghar.

In June 2012 the Thumbs Up team travelled to Wadeye NT to help the students from Sacred Heart School consider job choices and how they relate to their education. They came up with a great song that has a really positive message.
