Eradicating Obstetric Fistula in Ethiopia
Lynne will talk about the work of Catherine & Reg Hamlin. Catherine was voted Senior Citizen of NSW for 2017.
The title of my talk is The Catherine Hamlin Fistula Foundation
I was born and raised in the UK. When I had graduated and gained experience as a Geography teacher I worked in Nigeria on a British development aid contract.
I migrated from the UK in 1988 with my husband and three young children.
I recently retired as a Geography teacher at MLC Burwood.
I have always taken an interest in African affairs and am passionate about development issues. I have been very privileged to volunteer at the Catherine Hamlin Fistula Foundation as I believe Catherine to be one of the most inspiring people that I have heard about.
