Nyirrunggulung-RISE and Katherine Research Station as well as the Barunga and Manyallaluk teams got stuck into our annual mango picking.
On the first day the teams picked over 2000 kg’s of mangoes, all of which has been distributed to Barunga, Manyallaluk and Binjari communities.
The teams worked well and quickly picking, washing, and bagging all the mangoes ready to be distributed to the local communities.
It is great seeing all the smiles on the peoples faces as they receive the bags of mangoes. It makes all the hot work in the field worth it.
Nyirrunggulung-RISE support the area of Katherine, the teams are happy to share fruit with the Casuarina Street Preschool. The kids were so excited to have the mangoes to eat at school, and take a few home to share with their family.
We are proud of this project and the way our teams include others.
Thanks very much to the great staff and management at the Katherine Research Station for giving us the opportunity to share this wonderful resource to the community. Our teams will be heading back as soon as possible to get more mangoes before they go to waste.
