Miwatj at Nhulunbuy
last modified June 28, 2007 by aguido
A page describing what the Black Stump Working Group did at Nhulunbuy in the Northern Territory.
Once upon a time there was a training room belonging to the Miwatj Health Aboriginal Corporation in Nhulunbuy, with a mort of computers. Alas, they were Windows-infested and little used, and so the room fell dusty and silent. Then one day a crew of random volunteers came in, made derisory sounds at the ancients' choice of operating system, set up the computers and cleaned up the room.
And lo, there was a usable training space again.
There was an open morning to introduce the community to their new resource.
The volunteers: Sokar Phillpot, Pia Waugh, Horatio Davis, and a few others I've forgotten. Total cost: one computer's worth of parts, accommodation for three people for five days, and airfare. Lots and lots of airfare.
