Episode Summary
Jo Clark joins Linda today to talk about her memories of teaching, volunteering, and growing up. Jo shares detailed experiences that really capture the listener through all their senses. Listen as Jo and Linda discuss:
- Experiencing different areas of Australia volunteering for an organisation called Yalari that helps indigneous children have access to education
- Being a principal at a school and adjoining boarding hostel and providing the children with educational, family and community experiences
- Witnessing the decline in her mother’s health and choosing to adjust her life accordingly
- The tradition of Sunday roasts as a child and now as a parent
Linda and Jo walk down many memory lanes in their conversation today. Taking the time to talk about our memories and experiences is a great way to pass down wonderful stories and legacies to our children.
