Seeing what it is like to be an "Unlucky Australian" notes that the role, commitment and aptitude of each of the 10 Indigenous Local Connectors (per school year) for each of the Three Motivational Teams Challenges (aggregates to 30 different Indigenous Local Connectors 'in toto' over three years due to the diversity between sport, public speaking and I.T.) is pivotal to success or failure of the 'Aboriginal Teenager Life Skills' Programme.

 

Answer 4 of How explains 'inter alia' the Life Skills Philanthropic Service Movement strategy to source 10 Indigenous Local Connectors for the First Motivational Team Challenge and the subsequent two Motivational Teams Challenges.

 

Condition Precedent to Appointment of each Indigenous Local Connector:

 

  • Each Indigenous Local Connector must have a prior record of dealing with children or being responsible for the safety of children (ie. a retired school teacher, retired or current police officer etc) and provide three written references which validate this Condition Precedent.

As with all of the Various Parties, Indigenous Local Connectors would claim Out-Of-Pocket Various Parties Costs as provided for in the 'Aboriginal Teenager Life Skills' Programme Budget Costs.

Seeing what it is like to be an "Unlucky Australian" notes that ten  x  Indigenous Local Connectors each year are pivotal to -

A)        the success of the Thirteen Deliverables From 'Aboriginal Teenager Life Skills' Programme; and

B)        television ratings of 34  x  One Hour RTV Episodes of "Attaining Teenager Life Skills".
