After much searching, we found Matilda Bowman – an amazing young woman from…… Alice Springs!
Matilda is a nurse working in the emergency ward of Alice Springs Hospital, she also accompanies doctors on visits to Indigenous communities. Matilda is a humble, quietly spoken young woman who is strong in her conviction for helping others. Matilda heard about RYLA through a fellow worker and applied to attend. As we couldn’t find a local candidate, the organiser Liz North was approached to see if there were any applicants without a club and hence Matilda was found. Matilda was born in Northern Territory and attended school in Tasmania after her family moved there. As Matilda likes the hot weather, she completed her nursing studies at James Cook University in Cairns. The environment is Matilda’s outlet, last season she was a guide on the Larapinta Trail west of Alice Springs. Just prior to the RYLA week, Matilda was hiking for a week in southwest Tasmania with her dad. Janelle and I attended the evening meeting during RYLA where we chatted to Matilda to get to know her better. She is very appreciative of our sponsorship. We will see a video soon of her expectations and experiences at RYLA. RYLA is a live-in weeklong leadership course held this year at Knox School in January for young people aged 18-30. The course promotes young leaders in the community or those who aspire to leadership position, young adults seriously committed to development of their interpersonal skills and young leaders in the workforce with an interest in stewardship and management. |
