Storytelling with Helene Gonski
/
It was an absolute pleasure to have Helene Gonski come to Bondi Beach Astra yesterday to tell us about her life. She is from South Africa originally, but has been in Australia for over 60 years and raised her four children here. She has a degree in psychology and has worked as a relationship counsellor among other things. Since retiring she has been busy with many different activities in the community; knitting blankets to donate to the Wayside Chapel, singing in a local choir, writing up life stories for residents of Montefiore, running relationship courses, writing several books on grandparenting, and continuing to play tennis into her 90s! What an inspiration. Thank you to her for coming by and sharing with us, to resident Noni for introducing her and facilitating the event, and to everyone who came and asked questions and chatted together afterwards over a cuppa and a biscuit. Especially to those who braved the storms to come and visit – it was great to see you.
