One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

... interviewed Mother Teresa in the outback town of Bourke, NSW, after which she invited me to come pray… upon the wall was handwritten in block letters, the words - 'I Thirst', which kind of summed up a lot about the the work, the life and the passion context of her work with people.

Teach, Learn, Share

.. just the many and varied experiences of the life..

all of the above, mutual exchanges...
