Aunty Lorraine Peeters, the first Indigenous Australian addressing a Conference in Sarajevo on her vision for Aboriginal welfare and how she visualises the future for the Aboriginal people of Australia. Her title resonates with the people of the former communist countries as they too need to build their hopes, become resilient people and march forward. Her ideas inspires reconstruction of broken lives.
Aunty Lorraine sees two worlds in every society and nation. One that is composed of a generation that is not willing to give up old ways – and another generation that sits on the fence. Amidst these two generations there are a number of confused and confounded, unfortunate people. Her message is direct to all to awakened people, that is not to feel sorry for their plight– but to do something about it
