NAIDOC Week 2024 is almost upon us! It will be held across Australia from this Sunday 7 July through to 14 July. It’s a time to celebrate and recognise the history, culture, and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. The theme for this year is “Keep the Fire Burning! Blak, Loud & Proud”, which honours the enduring strength and vitality of First Nations culture.
MBCRC CEO Daniel Abrahams recently caught up with Pauly Vandenbergh, who is part of the Wirangu and Kokatha peoples of the Far West Coast of South Australia. Pauly is passionate about making change and creating opportunities for Aboriginal young people, and founded the Aboriginal Basketball Academy. Pauly, Daniel and some of the team are pictured below at a game against other schools as part of their NAIDOC week celebrations.
