From Roadside Find to International Reunion
A simple act of kindness recently turned into an extraordinary story of teamwork and cultural connection.
While completing a Home Modifications job in Lancelin, TADWA installer Olaf spotted a wallet on the side of the road. He picked it up and searched for identification - but all cards and documents were in Chinese.
Olaf brought the wallet back to head office in Bassendean, handing it to his manager Ian, who then connected with our Technology Services team. Yi, who is fluent in Chinese, was able to translate the details and share the information through his local community networks.
Before long, a tour group organiser made contact - the wallet belonged to one of his guests visiting Western Australia, who had unknowingly dropped it in Lancelin.
The organiser came to Bassendean to collect the wallet, relieved to be able to return it to its owner - a visiting government official from China whose official identification and cards were all inside.
Thanks to Olaf’s honesty, Ian’s quick action, and Yi’s language skills, the gentleman avoided the stress of replacing critical documents and will return home with peace of mind.
This story is a powerful reminder of what makes TADWA special: people who step up, work across teams, and bring diverse skills together to create meaningful outcomes.

Today, and every day, we celebrate our volunteers.
Our incredible volunteer team plays a vital role in supporting TADWA’s Technology and Computer Support (TACS) team - refurbishing and recycling donated computers so they can be re-used where they’re needed most.
As a proud member of Volunteering WA, we were delighted to celebrate our volunteers throughout the year:
* In May, with a special morning tea and gifts for National Volunteer Appreciation Week
* In December, acknowledging International Volunteer Day
* And most recently, sending them into the holiday break with a pizza lunch and Christmas gifts
The celebrations were presented by our CEO Dr Gill Walker and Eddy Lim, Manager - Technology and Computer Support. There was plenty of pizza, plenty of laughter, and a strong sense of appreciation shared by all.
Our volunteers are an integral part of the TADWA team, and we’re grateful for the time, skills and commitment they bring.
Interested in volunteering with us?
Get in touch - we’d love to hear from you.
