Accidental Aid Worker
Thursday, 30 May 2019 | 06:00 PM to 07:30 PM
Join us as part of May-Be Try a New Author Month!
Accidental Aid Worker is the travel memoir of the adventurous Sue Liu who stumbles into voluntary aid work in the wake of the 2004 tsunami during the civil war conflict in Sri Lanka. She teams up with a tour guide, a Catholic priest and a community of refugees and so begins a ten-year obsession with helping people in need. Through tragic events, Sue meets the larger than life Geraldine Cox and spreads her generosity to help orphaned children in Cambodia.

About
Ballet for Better Balance 55+™ ballet class welcomes all seniors with no or little prior ballet experience.
The class aims to improve balance, stability and coordination by focusing on developing and improving feet dexterity and hence proprioception, as well as using muscles that don’t normally get used in other forms of exercises, such as the intrinsic muscles of the feet. The classes are taught at a gentle pace to allow dancers to feel comfortable and at ease with the movements.
All exercises are choreographed to classical ballet music so dancers are able to get the true experience of a traditional ballet class.
