Here is someone to be proud of!


It is with great pleasure I introduce you to (or re-introduce the old East Keilor gang!) to Steve Morrish. Steve has set up an amazing NGO here in Cambodia and is doing fantastic work helping prevent exploitation of at risk people. I hope you enjoy reading about his organization and are proud that one of our own has taken it upon himself to help those less fortunate. Well done Steve and good luck for the wedding!
