15 Computers, Screens, Keyboards and Mice, donated to Narang Bir-rong Aboriginal Corporation.

The Narang Bir-rong Aboriginal Corporation’s mission is to provide culturally and spiritually stable homes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children, young people and their families.

These computers are going to help their Family Preservation, Foster Care and Support Programs and ensure that their children and young people have access to technology during the current lockdown.

CEO Heidi Bradshaw said that these computers were greatly appreciated as they will allow their kids to continue with their schooling and maintain access via video to the families, community and support network.

We are so glad to have the opportunity to give back to the community in such a meaningful way, thanks to Yirigaa and Narang Bir-rong Aboriginal Corporation.
