A Disney video blares in the corner of Maribyrnong Immigration Detention Centre's recreation room.
Mothers sit talking on couches while their toddlers play.
Across the room, a small group of other detainees are in sewing class. It's stretch fabric and the pattern needs to be placed on the material just so, Lorna explains, gesticulating towards the weft to get her point across. Abdul nods, seeming to understand. The Red Cross saw that Lorna, with her gentle, patient nature and having been a part-time dressmaker and former home economics teacher, was perfect for the sensitive job of teaching sewing to detainees. Twelve months on, Lorna has a loyal following at the detention centre - she is, in fact, its only volunteer worker.
