Galiwin'ku
Galiwin’ku is a Yolŋu community located on Elcho Island, approximately 550 km North East of Darwin
In early 2015, two cyclones, Lam and Nathan, passed over Galiwin’ku. Although no lives were lost during these events, many buildings have been significantly damaged, and some have been destroyed. Many families lost their homes, and are waiting for construction of their new homes to begin. It seems likely that recovery efforts will continue for some time.

Mentoring activities took place at the Shepherdson College. These activities were led by Yalu staff from June to November 2016.
I joined the team in April 2016, just in time for the team meeting at Tennant Creek, where it was realised that the team needed someone to analyse the data that was being generated across the different communities.
Being a part of the WCE Initiative has been a wonderful experience and I have learnt so much from being a part of this team with such diverse backgrounds that supported each other throughout the initiative.
