Welcoming Reach1 Teach1 to the Roogenic Family!!
We are huge supporters of Reach1 Teach1, a non-profit project with a mission to “equip, motivate and inspire today's youth and transform them into powerful leaders for the future.” This project is run by Ryan Trooth Samuels who works with Australian communities and schools, using music and hip-hop as a medium to provide youth with tools to build resilience and self-esteem. In support of Reach1 Teach1, we are now sponsoring this work by providing native Australian tea for the project to gift to the community. We also look at how we can expand our support and provide what is needed – most recently was this sports equipment pictured below. According to Ryan, the Hip Hop programs help youth to free themselves of their ingrained patterns of thinking and develop personal awareness, confidence, empathy and respect. Through the art of expression and creative writing, youth are guided through their own personal journey to build self-esteem and confidence. Roogenic admires the way that Reach1 Teach1 is promoting healthy life skills for managing mental health to children of our future. The goal is to interrupt destructive thought patterns for them to experience themselves and others in a new way and to generate original and positive ideas. An important part of looking after ourselves and our community is to balance mental health which is the core of our well-being. A happy and healthy Australia is something we strive for and supporting our youth is a fantastic place to start so we are excited to become a part of this journey.

A Bold Legacy Lives On: Supporting WAALI
“Because of Her, We Can” High Tea Perth 2018 Here at Roogenic, we are a proudly Australian business and love to support communities around the country. This week we had the honour of supporting the “Because of Her, We Can” event presented by the Western Australian Aboriginal Leadership Institute. This high tea women’s luncheon was a free event held in Perth WA, recognising and celebrating the achievements and contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women in the community. Our contributions toward the raffle helped in raising funds for WAALI’s great work within the community as a non-profit organisation that supports Aboriginal people to take up leadership opportunities and strengthen their communities. “It’s more of an opportunity to celebrate the women … who are the real solid backbones of their communities,” said singer, Christine Anu. In this beautiful country we remain strong with support and unity and that is why we were so proud to be able to share in this event that honours these women and their strength and legacy. One of these brilliant women is Gail Allison, who was a guest speaker on the day. See our next blog story to learn more about this amazing woman who was named WA’s Aboriginal Person of the Year.

Connecting with Culture: Roogenic and the Commu...
“Modern and Dreamtime coming together as one.” – Young Indigenous Elder, Robert Dann Bringing a taste of Australia to you through our native Australian teas and plant products is something we are proud to achieve and in doing so, Roogenic has built a strong connection with Indigenous communities around the country that source the wild-harvested ingredients like native lemon myrtle, native lemongrass, quandongs, and the Kakadu Plum known to Indigenous Australians as ‘Gubinge’. The Gubinge is a small native fruit that has the highest natural vitamin C content in the world. It also contains zinc, potassium, magnesium, and is packed full of anti-oxidants; so it is no wonder that Indigenous communities in the North-West of Australia have these fruits as a traditional staple in their diet. “You see all the older ones, all the elders, go out and pick the Gubinge and eat it straight from the actual tree,” says Young Indigenous Elder, Robert Dann. Roogenic works closely with Robert Dann, a Nyul Nyul man, and his community who pick the native Gubinge in Western Australia’s Kimberley region. He believes it has helped to strengthen their connection to country and encouraged the passing on of bush tucker traditions. “Our grandfather, he was one of the elders of our community and he knew all about the bush tucker and how to collect it and when to collect it … so it’s an ongoing teaching and it’s teaching our younger ones how to look after country because then the country will look after you.” Robert Dann expressed concern about some dark issues in the Kimberley, many surrounding high rates of mental health issues and suicide, but he said that working with the land and picking Gubinge has helped the younger community to build self-esteem and given them the confidence and belief in themselves to engage and reconnect to culture. “The Gubinge picking is helping a lot of the younger kids going out to country with the elders … it actually helps them to have a balanced life.” – Robert Dann Indigenous communities are facing threats to their culture but also to their land and, according to Robert, one of the biggest challenges is fracking starting to happen in the Kimberley. Robert Dann says, “What Roogenic is doing with us is actually starting to empower us and starting to show the government what we can do with native harvest, and keep a sustainable income, but also to give back to Australia.” Roogenic is proudly Australian and our products play an active role in supporting Indigenous communities, small farmers and elders, helping support their farming practices but also strengthening connection to culture. This can help the elders, Indigenous communities and small farmers pass down the knowledge and wisdom to the younger generation. “Roogenic is helping to power us and to power the younger ones as well.” – Robert Dann
