2. Please sign your name on our Online-form. This form will be handed over to the government of Australia.

Only if the Aboriginal tribes can regain control over their lives and their habitat, chronical problems like lower life expectancy and high mortality rate of their children can be resolved.

The answer is not to cut their rights concerning their lives and the life in their communities but to grant them more participation and influence in all matters concerning their future.

FAQ

Will my letter have any effect?
Yes. In the past such letters have shown repeatedly that governments react positively. Politics were changed and lives saved.

Why should the letter be in German?
Letters written in a different language show that people from all over the world care for the indigenous peoples. It impresses. Our experience shows that due to keywords the letters are understood and even answered.

How should I send my letter, fax, e-mail, or through the post office?

Letters sent through the post office show best results. If there is a realistic chance, we sometimes pass on e-mail addresses or fax numbers. But e-mail addresses change and fax machines can be cut off. If possible please use the post office.

Dear Madam,

I am very concerned that the Aboriginals in a prosperous country like Australia still suffer extreme health problems and social discrimination.

Only if the Aboriginal tribes can regain control over their lives and their habitat, chronical problems like lower life expectancy and high mortality rate of their children can be resolved.

The answer is not to cut their rights concerning their lives and the life in their communities but to grant them more participation and influence in all matters concerning their future.

Yours sincerely,
