Have read a few of these stories by Sally Sara and thought I would share them with you.  There are 12 but I haven't yet found the other 2.

They make me realise just how lucky we are in Australia.

The last story is written differently.  as it was on Foreign Correspondent.

Ray, Just found out you replied on this post.

I came in to see the ones I haven't watched.  I've found them very interesting and am in awe of some of the challenges these women have faced with courage and determination.  Don't know if I could have done the same in their shoes.

Pleased to see at least someone watched them.

Sandi although my wife is older than Sally Sara, they both went to University of South Australia, so she takes an interest and is very keen on the way Sally reports..

Yes, I knew she was from South Australia.  The ABC has been running one story  a month.

I really like her style of writing.  Do you know if she's written any books ??  I know, I know Google it. Bit of a problem with computer here, think it's just about had it's day and ready to go into the wherever old computers go to die.

Sandi, googled and found out Sally Sara wote one book called Gogo Mama, haven't read it but apparently its about 12 African women and again struggles..
