Thanks so much for the opportunity to participate in your excellent conference. It was superbly organised and very interesting as well. You might also find the attached “Comment” interesting. It’s what I wrote in our local community paper. NB: Mark Cleary presented the "No Blame Programme" Workshop. Download PowerPoint presentation here I J G Adams - District Court Judge I write to you and all the members of the WFV Network Committee to than you for sponsoring my attendance at the Liberation from Violence Conference by way of the Te Rito funding. I felt very proud to be known to be from the Wairarapa - the superb and professional manner in which the Conference was run and the calibre of presenters did credit not only to your Organisation but the region as a whole. The contacts made, the reinforcement and affirmation of the manner in which one works and the message emphasising 'safety is paramount'; the necessity to break down barriers. All assist to strengthen the process to make change and the reminder that one should never become complacent in ones task - no matter how large of small a part one plays. My thanks and appreciation once again. Lorraine Jones Wairarapa Community Counselling Centre Counsellor On behalf of the Women's Centre and myself, I would like to thank you for the opportunity you have me of going on the Liberation from Violence Conference. I found it inspiring and informative, and it was great to have the chance to get together with so many like-minded people. You all did a wonderful job and I look forward to the next one! Ka kite.
