Show Notes

I enjoyed speaking with Dr Anu Anandaraja about her life and the work she does with Women Together Global. I really enjoyed this conversation with Anu and hearing about her childhood and her dream at age 9 to help with health care in Africa - which came true, thanks to both hard work and serendipity!

Through peer to peer skills transfer, education, access to land and funding to launch cooperative businesses, women and girls are supported to build a better world for themselves and their communities.

Katharine Watson was my latest guest for a conversation that went rambling all over through a City and its past, present and future! This was a fascinating journey into the past but to start we also discussed Katharine's own life journey as well as her founding of The Christchurch Archaelogy Project. What is it that might lie beneath us underneath the streets that we walk or the houses we live in? The Christchurch earthquakes accelerated a period of exploration here and so we talk about that and what has been found. This is one of more than 500 conversation so if you enjoy it check out more at www.theseeds.nz Website for the Christchurch Archaelogy Project: https://www.christchurcharchaeology.org/who-we-are
