Indigenous HIPPY (Home Instructions for Parents of Preschool Youngsters) works with isolated mothers where they live connecting them with other mothers in their communities who share an intimate awareness of the issues and challenges they face.
As Reading Week volunteers, we will be collaborating with the Indigenous HIPPY program to bring a group of mothers/caregivers and their pre-school children from HIPPY to the UBC Farm for a daytrip, with the purpose to build and strengthen connections both between the mothers and their children, and the mothers and the land. We will document their trip via. video-recording and/or pictures, and spend a day putting together a documentary. This will be showcased at the Vancouver Aboriginal Friendship Centre on the last day.
