Milingimbi-Jimmy Little Foundation-Two Friends

Jimmy Little and The Thumbs Up! team visited the children at Milingimbi NT
and wrote a great song "Two Friends" about a healthy life style...
The Jimmy Little Thumbs Up! program is targeted to young people aged 5 to 16 in an effort to close the gap on Indigenous health where Aboriginal people are 12 times more likely to fall victim to diabetes than non-Indigneous Australians. During the workshop, new media is used to pass healthy lifestyle messages to students and community members. Language is used in many places as workshop participants create and record songs with the message Good Tucker leads to a Long Life. Videos are produced and given back to the community to keep the messages alive and hopefully stop so many Aboriginal Australians suffering from diabetes. Remember, Thumbs Up for healthy tucker!
