Important and poignant to have met with Ukrainian

Important and poignant to have met with Ukrainian Ambassador Vasyl Myroshnychenko and the Netherlands Chargé d’affaires, Annemieke van Soelen to recognise the 10th anniversary since the downing of MH17. As we remember the 298 lives lost we hold close to our hearts the victim’s families and loved ones, while standing resolutely with them in the continuing pursuit of justice.

Truly inspiring! Last night I met Milly, 11 years old with a Cochlear implant & graduate of @shepherdcentre. Milly delivered an incredible speech about her full, busy life & how the Shepherd Centre has helped her & thousands of Australian children with hearing loss. Now Shepherd Centre know how will extend to a speech & language program in Japan, helping Japanese children to also fulfil their potential. So much for Australia to be proud of.
