Willagee Community Service
Western Australia
In June 2002, The Sai Organisation in WA commenced a regular service activity at Willagee Community centre as a partnership with the Melville Council.Willagee area was recommended by the council's community development officials due to the need for such services in the area. This area and the Willagee Community Centre is utilised by the local aboriginal (Nyoongar) population
The service activity comprises three programs; 'Education for Life', 'Yoga for Life' and 'Food for Life'. These programs provide academic tuition for children and adults, Yoga and Light meditation Classes, Education in Human Values, and Vegetarian cooking classes with focus on healthy food for healthy living. All programs are integrated with the cultural needs of the aboriginal users of the center as well as the rest of the users."
The volunteers are from Sai Centres and Groups in Western Australia. The officers and centre leadership have been most supportive of the programme.
