POLLY FARMER FOUNDATION CELEBRATES 25TH ANNIVERSARY

This year marks the 25th anniversary of the first Polly Farmer Foundation program to support the aspirations of Aboriginal children from around Western Australia.

The foundations Follow the Dream program, first called the Gumala Mirnuwarni Education project began with 23 high school students from Karratha, Roebourne and Wickham. 

Keanu Tucker Love is a Nanyul and Wongi man who says the program helped him to stay on track at school. 

He is now an Electrical Instrumentation apprentice with Woodside. 

“With the help of Lesley from Karratha Gumala Mirnuwarni, she lit a fire under me,” he said. “And made sure that I did all my work and was someone who was constantly shooting for my success when at times I was a bit lazy.”
