Additional Information
In the last eighteen months my wife and I have started a Non-Denominational Not-for-profit organisation that is involved in Grief groups, Palliative care groups, retreating, community development programs (stretching from youth and youth leadership to community leadership and domestic violence support programs), that works here in Orange as well as in the Solomon Islands.
It is our hope that over the next two to three years this will become a financially viable operation that will support many people and be the blessing that we believe it can be.
