Ten years ago Australia ‘stopped the boats’. At the same time a small group of refugees in Indonesia received a $200 donation and started a two-room school.
Husband and wife, Muzafar Ali and Nagina Zahra were co-founders of that first school before being resettled in Adelaide in 2015. Since then the schools in Indonesia have grown. There are now over 1300 refugee students and 130 refugee teachers.

We hereby invite you to the theatre to hear a program of stories, poems and drama about birth. We will hear from new mamas, dads and grandmothers, about hospital births, home births, ecstatic birth and unexpected outcomes.
This event is a fundraiser for the Birth Wellness Festival, which will be held in the Spring, details yet to be revealed.
