Aussie helpers

Last week we had the health expo in our college. Some student interviewed Sue Martin, who is an Aussie helper volunteer, about what they do. She explained to them about some questions such as what an Aussie helper is.

Aussie Helpers is a group of volunteers who help collect food and money to help poor farmers who live in the bush because they haven't got good crops and have had long periods of drought or floods and bushfires and also depression is a big problem and she told them about the outback, which means the bush, where these farmers live. Some farmers live very far away and some of them are proud and don't ask for help.The volunteers hear from other people. She called this the grapevine or bush telegraph, which is like a gossip chain.
