More on my background on my profile page
I am a family health nurse in Sydney, Australia. I see a majority of Korean and Chinese mums in my practice. You are a blessing in disguise, I wish I had found your site three years ago. Your work has been very helpful, as I am interested in the concept of mothering in a new country. AP, 2007 WOW!!! What a fantastic site!! What an amazing woman you are! My interests in nursing are mental health and women's issues, so am glad to be able to use your site as a valuable resource! LK, 2007 What a fantastic resource you have developed! I dipped into your page on various research paradigms today, which has energised me: I am struggling to realign myself with my own PhD research after a short break to have a baby - certainly the most challenging and rewarding thing I have attempted in my life to date. SN 2006 Just thought I'd let you know that I found your website really informative and the links very useful in regard to my own research. It is great to happen upon a whole range of relevant literature in a completely new discipline (i.e. nursing). VA 2006 I was surfing the net on equity issues, and lo and behold your website came up. It is soooo cool! I just wanted to let you know that I think the contribution you are making to women in the community, and research in general is outstanding. CR, 2006 Thank you for having such an impressive website; what a fantastic resource and archive. I am very impressed with the dedication that it reflects both in terms of how you have managed your life and work in relation to your East African roots, how that experience had informed your thinking and motivation but also the trouble you have taken to document the record for the benefit of all. K Singh Ajimal East African Asians, the Wahindi Wow what a website you have. I could study it for ages. I would like to thank you for the work you are doing. You work on extremely important issues. I am a migrant from South Africa and moving to NZ has worsened my condition considerably, the stress of immigration and so forth. Your collection of resources in this one location is just fantastic and I will be directing it to family members around the world as we too are the result of the Indian Diaspora. Keep up the great work, your contributions are well recognised. |
