Last Thursday we had another amazing Proseed evening!

Thanks for a record-breaking evening!

We all enjoyed together what appears to be a record-breaking evening in terms of the amount of charity money raised. I’d like to thank every one of you for braving the ominous weather warnings, and helping us support the children under the care of handsacrossthewater.org.au.

Thank you k. Gift!

My deep thanks to our amazing speaker k. Gift Arpaporn Samabhandhu, Area Managing Director for Johnson & Johnson for reminding us that nature requires, celebrates, and rewards diversity – Our taboos against incest arise from the fact that reducing diversity in any breeding population’s gene pool quickly increases the likelihood of congenital defects. It’s a reality that every pedigree breeder is familiar with – whether it be dogs, fish, horses, whatever – The more pedigree the animal, the greater the number of issues it’s likely to suffer of:

• Resistance to disease
• Adaptability to change
• Resilience in the face of hardship
• Stagnation

The same applies to human societies – Failing to embrace diversity, inevitably leads to decline.

K. Gift presented us with her experiences living, practicing and promoting Diversity, Equity and Inclusion in her personal and professional life. In her words:

The event presentation, and k. Gift’s slides are available below.

Doing good
