Giving back - volunteering at Solaris, Read Write Now and sponsoring Hill Tribe Children for Borderless Friendship
In the nineteen-nineties Lizzie visited Nepal. It changed her life. Upon her return home she resigned from her corporate job and took up work in aged care where she felt she could make a positive difference in the lives of others. Since then she has been involved in volunteer work as a tutor at Read Write Now, as a Reiki practitioner providing complementary therapy for cancer patients through an organisation called Solaris, and has visited and sponsored Hill Tribe children in Thailand. She tells me that she gets back far more than she gives.
I found the talk most interesting. In our discussion I mention a couple of links that would be put up on this summary. Here they are:
