Mt DuneeD Primary School pupil Indiana Fatone is a junior ranger at local wildlife sanctuary Jirrahlinga.<\/p>\n
At only 10 years old, Indiana organised a whole school fundraiser for the local organisation on november 23 and has been donating her own pocket money too.<\/p>\n
\u201cI became a junior ranger because I thought it would be fun, and I\u2019m interested in animals,\u201d Indiana said.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy Aunty Jess organised it for me as something fun to do in the school holidays.\u201d<\/p>\n
Indiana organised a crazy-hair day at school, with students donating a gold coin to participate.<\/p>\n
\u201cMount Duneed Primary has been very supportive, allowing me to read the letter to the school that I wrote for the Junior School Council meeting to get the fundraiser approved.<\/p>\n
\u201cI did the fundraiser because I saw Jirrahlinga needed help and rely on donations to keep helping animals.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt seemed like people wouldn\u2019t think to donate to Jirrahlinga so I wanted to do something about it because I care about the animals and the awesome the people that work there.<\/p>\n
\u201cthe best things about volunteering at Jirrahlinga wildlife sanctuary is helping out and cleaning the animals\u2019 habitats and feed them.\u201d<\/p>\n
Indiana\u2019s parents are extremely proud of their daughter and how she is always willing to help those in need.<\/p>\n
\u201cIndiana has a very nurturing and kind-hearted, always helping those in need, people and animals,\u201d Indiana\u2019s mum Laura said.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don’t know any 10-year-old that would think to do something so amazing and I am so proud to call her my daughter. Pride doesn\u2019t even cut it. there are no words to describe how I feel about what she has achieved.\u201d<\/p>\n
Indiana\u2019s dad James also had a lot of admiration for his daughter\u2019s heart and said he was proud as punch.<\/p>\n
