The South Head Vagabond

Hi – Kia ora Tatou

This time I am sharing some intriguing insights into two people whose lives really had an impact on me: A Kiwi guy called Ron O’Grady who did an an amazing job fighting child sex trafficking in Asia – establishing a movement which reached right around the world.

I will also tell you about a disabled 15-year-old girl in Indonesia I met 22 years ago, who changed my perspective on gratitude. In the “Thinking Out Loud” section I recall an experience I had in a hospital bed where I got a serious reality check on how we treat less fortunate souls. In “Stories to make you think” comes a very moving story about a 26-year-old Kiwi aid volunteer I saw making a huge difference in a war-torn country, and this week’s podcast. “Tales from the Hospital Corridors” is a unique insight into the life of a doctor who treats the very sickest babies delivered into her care.

You’ll see I am about to release my latest book ‘The Courage of Women‘. I have to say the stories are compelling, Details of when this book is being properly launched are in the ‘What’s Coming Up’ section.
