'Mums with Drums' a performance troupe has just returned to Darwin after well received performances at the Dreaming Festival - June 2009 (a major annual cultural arts event held at Woodford Qld). The young women's performance troupe was formed through Anglicare NT's Pandanus Project to raise awareness of post natal depression.
We have just had the most amazing time with over 100 people attending the “We Grow Them Up” Festival for 2009.
We were welcomed in style to Larrakia country by June Mills who, with her mother Kathy shared a song with us to begin our conference. Barry Johnson, from the Department of Families and Housing, Community Services and Indigenous Affairs, opened the Festival and shared with us how Government is committed to ensuring children across the Territory get a strong start in life.
