Adelaide, what a beautiful place.
This stunning capital city of South Australia is home to 1.2 million people; families, singles,
tourists and don't forget the footy fans.
We're home to outstanding creativity, great education and we're also on the grow.
We love who we are and hope to maintain this wonderful corner of the Earth for all who
seek tranquillity, innovation and wonder. Here, life is beautiful ...
You see, Adelaide is also in pain. If you don't want to see it, it is easy to close
your eyes and heart to it, as many do. But the wounds are still there.
They are revealed through a single mother that struggles to provide food for her family
due to lack of income.
By the teenager who instead of love from his father, would be shown a perfectly timed back
hand, and now the danger filled lonely streets are the only place to run to.
They appear in the father's eyes who has been the victim of workforce cutbacks and now can't
seem to look his family in the eyes as a man.
Even as most people seem to be fine, the traumatic events life sends our way at times have toppled
others over.. Since these folks are our brothers, our sisters, mothers, fathers and friends,
we choose not to believe only the strong survive and let the rest fall behind. If any are falling
behind, we're all falling behind.
Our strength, wisdom or ability has little bearing on if we'll triumph in life. We will triumph in life because of the love, encouragement,
compassion and help of others.
Hopelessness is consuming the hearts of many. So we decided to exchange this despair for
a conversation, a meal, a coffee and a friend. We might desire to change the world, so let's
begin with our neighbourhood.
We used to dream of a place where people could be seen and heard, a place where they could
feel loved. Now this place is real, but what would it be without people?
Because at the end of the day, only the love of God can change a life, and it is this love
that inspires people to love each other. That's why we 'Do Unto Others'
The rest is history in the making, so come give something you'll never get back...
Your time.
