Torres Strait Islanders

1. The growth zone is always outside the comfort zone, you will never grow if you settle for the status quo

2. Discovery is the inspiration of living, the first step is learning something good to pass on

3. We live in an unseen world where truth is the most precious commodity - Ravi Zacharias

4. John 17:17

5. Relish the teachable moments, ask the right questions

6. Had a hand in preparing dinner, forgot to fry the prawns before the garlic and vegetables

I attended a lecture today by two Aborigines from Australia where the topic of discussion was cultural safety. During the introduction, the speaker drew up a map of Australia that was fragmented into 207 pieces. Each of the fragments represented an Aborigine tribe with a specific language. I had no idea that the Aborigine race was so diverse. Currently, there are 500,000 Aborigines of which more than 50% of them reside in the urban areas. Where are the Torres Strait Islanders located?
