The main question, as I perceive it, is the positive response to the need to work towards a more tolerant, multicultural society. Once that perception becomes part of our community s thinking, we have to consider a plan of action in accordance with your personal area of interest, experience and opportunity. Our task, yours and mine, is to explore what we can undertake on an organisational and individual basis. As hospital manager, I sometimes filled in to take out meals on wheels. I enjoyed that part, unfortunately, the last clients received a late meal.

Tolerance should translate in time into appreciation of other persons culture. Prejudice is usually caused by ignorance and accelerated by worsening economic conditions. Human understanding and conflict are complex subjects and there can be no greater reward than, that all of us, whether as individual or group efforts create a society that can be said to be a true reflection of Living in Harmony.
