12.01.2022 Jingeri (hello)! My name is Kimberley. I’m a Budjiti women, I was born and raised here on Koombermerri Country (Gold Coast) although my bloodlines extend from Kooma - Kunja Country (Paroo River, Cunnamulla). I have the privilege of being able to come to this centre each week and teach Yugambeh language, this is a dialect of the Koombermerri people here in the Gold Coast. During each lesson I aim to engage children and educators in not only indigenous language but perspective...s. I am passionate about my culture and languages and am excited to share it. Over the term we will be discussing connecting to country and our surroundings. Introducing language into our daily routine and discovering Yugambeh names for body parts and Australian animals through games, songs and activities. Nya- na nabu ( See you soon) Kimberley
