In this week’s episode, we’re joined by Priscilla Thomas — a board member at Our Town KI and a dedicated program facilitator. With a strong background as an educator and community activator, Priscilla has spent several years working to improve educational opportunities and outcomes for children in the APY Lands with Anangu Education Services and Leaders Group. Our Town KI is a not-for-profit organisation supporting community-driven mental health and wellbeing initiatives on Kangaroo Island. Priscilla shares insights into the organisation’s involvement in over 30 projects, including community breakfasts for the Black Dog Ride and a homegrown Fringe show that showcases local Kangaroo Island talent. She also speaks about the unique challenges of rural life and geographic isolation and highlights a powerful student-led campaign against drink driving — an initiative that has resulted in a range of awareness materials across the Island. She also outlines how Our Town KI is addressing loneliness and isolation among the elderly, with the support from youth music groups.
