The story does your heart good. So, too, does the reference to the Paul Newman Foundation. Yes, Paul Newman, of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid and The Sting fame. We are tempted to see film stars as shallow characters. Through his foundation, Newman has also helped camping programs for sick children, mobility aids for disabled people, education for the disadvantaged, wildlife rescue, emergency services and training East Timorese nurses in Australia.
Homelessness is arguably our greatest problem worldwide.
Sr Myree confronts it here in Sydney, with courage and good sense, and achieves much. That the Gethsemane Community has been empowered, courtesy of Paul Newman, to make this outreach to the boarding houses of the Hunter, the Central Coast and the Southern Highlands will be a mighty lift to them, too.
