The 2008 Annual Report is now available and the full annual report can be obtained from this web site. As part of our efforts to reduce our impact on the environment, the report is smaller than in past years and is printed on recycled paper. Program reports are now available from this web site through the reports section. As well as having a reduced impact on the environment, we are saving money on printing costs, money that will be spent on providing health care to our patients.

The first UPK album was produced in 1989. It featured the hit "The Shower Block song", the number one song in Central Australia in 1990. The video for this song was featured on Countdown and Rage and in one of the most requested songs in the history of CAAMA radio.
Over the years a further three UPK albums were produced. These three albums were produced in bush studios on the APY Lands, a monumental logistical effort.
The first album had songs about septic tanks, germs and shower blocks. Over time there have been physical infrastructure programs resulting in an increase in health hardware function rates and the severity of some of the infectious diseases has been reduced.
The latter albums features songes to express concern about the high levels of chronic illness. Other songs still reflet the concern that people have for their children and family members and deal with issues such substance abuse and self harm.
Perhaps most importantly, the songs highlight the musical talent that resides on the APY lands.
As a special offer, you can now purchase the CDs for $5 each or $15 for a set of four. See our online store for details.

Patrick Walker is from Oodnadatta. In 2008 Patrick commenced studies in music at the University of Adelaide. Nganampa Health through our Scholarship Fund provided support to Patrick by paying for his rent. He is continuing his studies in 2009 and once again we are providing financial support. His student support officer recently told us “Patrick is a great student and is enjoying his study.”
We would like to thank all of our supporters who have donated money to the Scholarship Fund. We have more scholarships available and are keen to hear from any Anangu enrolled in tertiary studies.
