GUESTS:
Gill Stannard - RRR's resident naturopath - spoke with us about the importance of "Convalescence"... the period of recovery from surgery, a severe illness or some form of sustained injury. During this time, the body needs time to heal and adjust from the physical and mental effects of illness.

In Melbourne for the current Social Enterprise World Forum 09, Lillian Masebenza spoke about her Mhani Gingi Social Entrepreneurial Network which she set up in her homeland, South Africa. The aim of the Network was to empower women and young people using the "Power of Collective" business model, which combined traditional/indigenous village models of stovkels with business objectives. Lillian shared an amazing insight into why this model was much needed - and why it has been so successful.
