YARNING ABOUT EARS AT WARNKARUNKU DAY
Earbus Foundation was delighted to be invited by our longtime partner, MINARA RESOURCES PTY LTD , to participate in Warnkarunku Day, a significant event dedicated to improving health and financial literacy for young Aboriginal people.
Curated by the Leonora Community Resource Centre and St John's Ambulance, the inaugural 'Good Health & Good Wealth' event was held in the heart of Leonora in WA's Goldfields-Esperance region, offering vital health and financial education to the local children and young people.
Earbus Nurse George Carter Zillessen, a proud Gija and Gooniyandi man, provided information sessions around our free hearing screening services as well as hearing health education and tours of the Goldfields Earbus, which is adorned with artwork by local students.
Our presence at the expo underscores the commitment Earbus has to addressing ear health disparities and enhancing the well-being of young Aboriginal Australians. We look forward to Warnkarunku Day becoming an annual occurrence and to engaging further with children and young people in Leonora through activities, informative sessions and access to hearing health resources aimed at fostering a healthier future for the community.
