00:00:01.134 --> 00:00:05.304
<v Nicholas Marchesi>The Goods Project is about
building better household appliances.

00:00:08.924 --> 00:00:12.913
We wanna build desirable, functional,
and really fit-for-purpose goods.

00:00:15.424 --> 00:00:18.703
The Gamardi community, Nic and
Tehmineh and the Homeland School

00:00:18.704 --> 00:00:21.913
Company reached out and they said,
"We wanna get our young people on

00:00:21.913 --> 00:00:25.564
really awesome beds, and we wanna
put a washing machine in the school."

00:00:30.510 --> 00:00:34.090
We know that beds get dirty,
um, accidents happen on beds.

00:00:34.410 --> 00:00:39.020
If people get bedbugs and scabies
and that, uh, sore isn't treated,

00:00:39.120 --> 00:00:42.560
uh, that Strep A goes through
the bloodstream into the heart.

00:00:43.620 --> 00:00:47.490
Unfortunately, uh, young people in
particular in these communities have

00:00:47.490 --> 00:00:49.560
higher rates of rheumatic heart disease.

00:00:49.809 --> 00:00:53.810
This is something that's completely
preventable through, uh, having access

00:00:53.810 --> 00:00:57.950
to really appropriate health hardware,
like a bed, like a washing machine

00:01:29.112 --> 00:01:32.862
<v Eric Pascoe>Nic show us how to put
all things together, so yeah, we

00:01:32.862 --> 00:01:34.142
know how to pack it and unpack.

00:01:34.692 --> 00:01:35.582
<v Nicholas Marchesi>Here go in this one?

00:01:35.582 --> 00:01:35.662
<v Eric Pascoe>Yeah.

00:01:36.352 --> 00:01:37.122
It was,

00:01:39.762 --> 00:01:40.822
like, so fun.

00:01:40.852 --> 00:01:42.472
I was making my own bed.

00:01:43.582 --> 00:01:44.372
<v Nicholas Marchesi>Just push it.

00:01:44.842 --> 00:01:46.362
They're fully flat packable.

00:01:46.672 --> 00:01:50.102
They're made from plastic waste,
things like bottle caps, milk

00:01:50.131 --> 00:01:52.352
bottles, jerry cans, water tanks.

00:01:52.592 --> 00:01:54.401
You just shred it down, like makes a pulp.

00:01:55.131 --> 00:01:55.161
Yep.

00:01:55.182 --> 00:01:57.451
And then you heat it up and press
it, and you can make a panel.

00:01:57.782 --> 00:02:00.801
The dream for the future is that
the community can actually collect

00:02:00.932 --> 00:02:02.891
plastic that's harming the country.

00:02:03.161 --> 00:02:07.442
It can be shredded down and stored, and
it can create jobs for young people, but

00:02:07.442 --> 00:02:09.062
it also can be a part of the curriculum.

00:02:09.431 --> 00:02:12.871
<v Tehmineh Mason>We had some really good,
uh, conversations around healthy

00:02:12.872 --> 00:02:14.561
sleep and healthy lifestyles.

00:02:15.411 --> 00:02:19.131
A good night's sleep means the kids are
fresh and ready for school the next day.

00:02:19.131 --> 00:02:20.991
Tested.

00:02:29.870 --> 00:02:33.130
<v Nicholas Marchesi>I think that's a really humbling
thing about sleep is that it's so

00:02:33.130 --> 00:02:37.790
important to all of us wherever we are,
and having access to a really awesome

00:02:37.800 --> 00:02:39.780
bed is, in my belief, a human right.

00:02:39.780 --> 00:02:39.830
This is

00:02:39.830 --> 00:02:41.291
the bed.

00:02:41.291 --> 00:02:42.753
It's comfortable.

00:02:42.753 --> 00:02:46.408
Bringing it out this way.

00:02:46.408 --> 00:02:47.139
Yeah.

00:02:47.139 --> 00:02:49.190
During the day, no

00:02:55.419 --> 00:02:55.629
<v Nicholas Marchesi>dogs.

00:02:56.680 --> 00:03:00.659
We've delivered hundreds of these beds
around the country, in particular in the

00:03:00.659 --> 00:03:04.900
central desert, but this is the biggest
bed build we've done in one community.

00:03:05.839 --> 00:03:08.980
We did our biggest bed
build ever of over 40 beds.

00:03:11.550 --> 00:03:15.520
And when they do get dirty, you can bring
the beds to school, you can wash them,

00:03:15.570 --> 00:03:18.870
you can hang them out to dry, and then
you can sleep on them again that night.

00:03:18.870 --> 00:03:18.880
I

00:03:30.780 --> 00:03:31.779
sleep comfortably.

00:03:32.239 --> 00:03:34.650
My dad was sleeping comfortable too.

00:03:35.020 --> 00:03:39.200
<v Tehmineh Mason>This is a great project, and
it will definitely have lasting effects

00:03:39.200 --> 00:03:40.990
on the students and families out here.

00:03:41.580 --> 00:03:46.490
<v Eric Pascoe>Yo, I want to say thank
you to Goods on Country and Namaleia.

00:03:46.859 --> 00:03:47.179
Yay.

00:03:48.579 --> 00:03:49.240
<v Eric Pascoe>Bedding is good
