NAIDOC: Keep the Fire Burning! Blak, Loud and Proud
NAIDOC week is here, the 7th to the 14th of July marks a week of recognition and celebration. The theme for this year is “Keep the Fire Burning! Blak, Loud and Proud”.
Foster care at Karla Kuliny means providing culturally safe homes for First Nations children and young people who cannot live with their birth families.
We are seeking carers who are open to a journey of kindness and courage; carers who believe they can make a positive difference in a child’s life.
We show and pay respects to our Elders, past and present, and to the children and young people who are our leaders of tomorrow. We recognise the enduring connection to lands and waters and the role as the original storytellers around the campfire that continues to create strong pathways for our children and the generations to come.
As we return to campfire, we honour the wisdom and knowledge that has been passed down through generations, and we are grateful for the inspired and rich cultural heritage of the oldest continuing culture in the world. We acknowledge the importance of preserving and celebrating traditions, and we are committed to a future of cultural respect and understanding.
May we continue to create a shared journey that respects the traditions and wisdom from our elders with the intergenerational transfer of knowledge that not only enriches the journey of our children we also strive to foster a strong sense of identity and belonging – creating strength from past to present and into the future.
