I want to thank you so much for your address to our 61 delegates from 23 countries at our recently completed Summit. Your life stories of discrimination and how you overcame those obstacles since coming to Australia were powerful and inspiring. You’ve been there, so they could relate to you. Your friendly, open and inviting presence was proof that the actions you suggested to them have made a difference in your life.
