Community

All money raised from the 2010 Concert – the AUMO Experiment went to support the Tullawon Health Service in the Yalata community, on the far west coast of South Australia. The funds will be used to build a much needed playground and garden area at the recently built Parenting Centre, which addresses the need for child nutrition, ear health and parenting skills. Musical instruments will also be purchased for the Men’s Health Centre (‘Blue House’), which encourages culture and community and educates them on practical skills and essential health principles.

Further donations to support these projects will be much appreciated.

All money raised from the 2009 Concert raffle — AUMOgenesis: the Birth of Sound went to support the Insight Net Attack mosquito net project and Cambodia World Family Aid Project The Insight Net Attack Project supplies specially treated mosquito nets and mosquito coils to Kompiam, Inga Province in the highlands of Papua New Guinea. Members can see firsthand the impact that these nets have on the community during Medical placements originally helped set up by Insight.

The Cambodia World Family (CWF) is a non-profit organisation in Cambodia, aiming to provide dental care for orphans and handcapped children, whom otherwise would have little to no access to dental care. Children from these disadvantaged backgrounds have exhibited particularly disadvantaged rates of dental pathology and increased incidences of underlying systemic diseases affecting dental heath, e.g., HIV, Hep B, Hep C.
