Yalari Annual Review 2020
Volunteering Yalari's growth and community spirit owes a lot to our passionate and dedicated team of volunteers.
BRIONY BENJAMIN Yalari Tutor "At the start of 2020 I began doing some volunteer tutoring with the Kambala Yalari students. However it wasn’t long before Covid struck and meant I could no longer visit the school. Rather than stopping tutoring all together, we instead began some zoom tutoring. It was an interesting experience at first, trying to do maths homework via zoom was a little difficult. Because of the zoom restrictions I focussed just on one student - Taylor. Taylor would hold up the textbook, I’d screen shot the page and work out what question she was working on. Once we got a bit of a system going, we hit our stride. With many of the subjects having online learning portals, this also made it a lot easier. Returning to see Taylor and the other lovely Yalari students at Kambala in real life, has been great. It’s been impressive to see the huge development in Taylor’s reading, writing and mathematics in such a small space of time. I’ve been blown away by her progress. Full credit to her school teachers and tutors. It’s been lovely to be a very small part of this development and I look forward to watching all the girls continue to develop their skills and confidence. "

Thank you to everyone helping me get a good education. I am so happy that I can go to a school like Kambala and receive so many opportunities. I hope to make my family proud and go to university when I finish school. 0038
