A joyous, yet humbling afternoon.

This afternoon I was asked to be MC at a function held at Karuna Hospice Centre in Brisbane. Around 35 women gathered to hear from a few speakers. One a lady from Zimbabwe told how she escaped a destructive marriage where her husband would hit her violently. She brought her 5 children to Australia and is empowering other women in abusive relationships to leave and find a better life for themselves. Also there was the Honourable Teresa Gambaro MP and the Honourable Bronwyn Bishop MP. Bronwyn spoke at length for the need for equality for women especially in foreign countries where husbands (and their families) have murdered wives for dowry issues. Just awful. Karuna helps those who are at life's end need palliative care. A wonderful organisation indeed.
