My Awesome Australian: Online exhibition

Adam Goodes by Corey (8-11 years, VIC)

Drawing
Adam Goodes
The famous footy player Adam Goodes fought to end all racism for the indigenous. He also helped the Indigenous communities and is involved in many Indigenous sports and fought for social justice. Adam Goodes is a good role model as he empowers people to take justice and action and is proud of his Indigenous heritage. Adam Goodes was also charitable as he was a part of the GO foundation. I strongly believe that Adam goodes should be awarded the kindness award as Adam goodes has done many kind acts in his life journey.
