On retirement, I felt passionately about passing on the good fortune that comes with education and I began researching scholarships for indigenous girls as part of some estate planning. Sometimes the stars are aligned, and my husband John and I could not believe our luck to find out that his cousin, Wally Boydell and his talented wife Mary Boydell were so involved with Yalari. Mary Boydell was the Chair of the Yalari Board at the time. So John and I joined Mary and Wally at our first Yalari dinner in 2016. What an inspiration!
“Education as the practice of freedom” is a philosophy which underpinned my work as an occupational therapy educator and academic manager at the University of Sydney. This idea is based on the work of Paolo Friere. “There is no time like the present” is another of my philosophies, so John and I decided to
- JANE GAMBLE YALARI SUPPORTER sponsor a Yalari scholar, and we were delighted to meet Mackenzie for the first time at the next Yalari dinner we attended in 2017. It was during her first year at Abbotsleigh School for Girls. Each year, it is an absolute delight to see Mackenzie transforming into the mature young woman she has become, and to know that she has a bright future ahead, in whichever path she has the freedom to choose. I truly believe the education and support that Yalari provides is the best way I can invest in our future society, and in special people like Mackenzie.
