International Volunteering with Palms Australia

July 2008 Palms Post

As Palms Australia approaches its Golden Jubilee Celebration, Palms Post takes a look back at the origins of the Paulian Association and stories from the first three decades; a reminder of our current emphasis on open hands; and, a look to the future, both through research into approaches to volunteering and a call for ongoing membership and new directors for our board.
