It’s a long drive from Macedon to Hampton
but it was time for Kate Lawrence (Macedon) and Mariam Issa (Hampton) to
finally meet up and enjoy a cuppa in the RAW Garden.
These two are passionate about building and
strengthening relationships through story and they are definitely RAW –
Resilient Aspiring Women.
RAW began in 2012 and aims to create an
inclusive and caring community. Mariam’s garden is created with the assistance
of volunteers; there are raised wiki beds, an out-door kitchen and a fire
pit. In this garden, storytelling is
valued as a way to educate and inspire young and old.
Mariam is looking ahead to 2016 and
planning events for the garden. As the Storytelling Australia Vic committee is
also beginning to shape our calendar, Kate will be liaising with RAW and
assisting Mariam with a program of storytelling.
We look forward to seeing many of you telling
stories in the RAW garden. We’ll keep you posted via our Members Newsletter as
plans progress.
