A large part of my job is building networks between people to achieve better outcomes for small communities. Recently it has become obvious that there needed to be better communication between service providers and service providers and the community in Enngonia so last week I convened a meeting of ggovernment, non-government agencies and community groups who had projects planned.
It was a great meeting because many of the people in the room had not heard about others proposed projects and there were many synergies. Not only was it terrific to hear how much is planned for Enngonia but many of those in the room found different ways to enhance their projects by working with others.It was also wonderful to have representative from the Pymble Uniting Church who were able to talk about their partnership with school. On the Saturday others from the church arrived bringing computers for school families (see the next post).
The next morning we were able to stay for the mobile preschool and NAIDOC (National Aboriginal and Islander Day Observance Committee) celebrations which were good fun.
