City Kids Cook for Desert Communities | Perth News
Description
Perth students are cooking up over 350 meals for remote Ngaanyatjarra communities, fueling a desert sports carnival called ‘Dust Up’ — and it’s more than just food. Through Power Up 4 Dust Up, city teens learn real kitchen skills, gain purpose, and connect with Indigenous peers across 2,500km of Australian outback. The experience transforms them — one teen said cooking calms him and fills his heart with pride knowing his effort helps kids who need it most. Started 11 years ago to fight homelessness, this initiative now bridges cities and deserts, turning meals into meaningful human connections.
