2010 International Women's Day
What people are saying….
“I am writing on behalf of the Australian Public Service Commission to express our appreciation to you for presenting at International Women’s Day 2010. The response to your presentation was overwhelmingly positive and I know that guests were both moved and inspired” Australian Public Service Commission
“Thank you so much for being a part of Friday night. We’ve had such fantastic feedback from the event. Everyone was totally engaged by what you had to say and learnt so much from your unique journey. As young people who are keen to make a difference in the world, it is refreshing and inspiring to hear someone speak so honestly about their experiences in Africa.” Vision Generation (World Vision)
“It was great to meet you and the women were so inspired. One woman spoke to me of how your words on honour spoke to her heart and
renewed her conviction for doing what was right for her children. Thank you for sharing your time so generously” Queensland Rural Women’s Network
“Thanks so much for coming on Sunday. It was a really interesting, stimulating time. You are a person who lives honestly, openly and deeply and you reflect on life with an intellectual rigour and discipline that is impressive” Uniting Church
