In the year of Reconciliation (2000) an enlightened young lawyer walked into an Aboriginal organisation in Melbourne (Naarn), saying he didn’t have much, but he wanted to help. Luckily he connected with Vicki Clark, OAM, a community worker who knew just how her people needed help.
This story harks back a few decades earlier too, to a young girl watching her mother working far away from the family, and sending parcels of books, pencils, and even footy boots, to family back home, in south west NSW.
Those memories were the genesis of Opening the Doors Foundation, but where to begin? In her own words, Vicki didn't have a clue how to set up the foundation that was her dream. And then, in walked the young lawyer named John Arthur.
How Vicki and John worked together to help Aboriginal families all around Victoria is the basis of this story: 10,000 Doors to Success.
