VAHS’ Preventative Health Unit the Koori Way keeping busy with school visits
After the successful launch of the postcard activity at recent Community events, Victorian Aboriginal Health Service’ (VAHS) Preventative Health Unit the Koori Way team is bringing it to schools, most recently, at Worawa Aboriginal College.
Students each wrote their own personal message to the tobacco industry, telling them they won’t be their future customer, and to stop killing Mob with their product
The Koori Way then sends these postcards to industry, inundating them with thousands of messages to hold them to account.
