HankaT Beautiful place, sad story with hope-filled bits. Hit by the modern-day scourge – lack of employment, education and meaningful pastime activities, this community is bound to experience the consequences in the form of domestic violence and drug addiction. Compliments to Ms McRae and all the workers of the Women's Shelter, especially in such remote places, it is important to a have a place to go to when in danger. It's good that they focus on education too. Hopefully the awareness they are raising will help them get more resources to focus on abuser-counseling and prevention. last year
