About our speaker:
In a dirty, run-down hospital in Cambodia, Sue sat with a 16 year old girl dying of AIDS. At age 11, the girl had been sold by her mother to a brothel. The absolute waste of this young girl’s life would never leave Sue. Her heart was broken to the point of action, and she left her banking career to fulfill her passion of helping young women.Sue spent 10 fulfilling years with World Vision New Zealand where she combined her passion for the poor and oppressed with a natural skill of public speaking. Since March 2005, Sue has been with HAGAR Cambodia, first setting up a home for girls aged 4-14 from Sexually Exploitative Situations, then co-managing the Children’s Department of eight projects and over 400 children. Currently, Sue serves as Residential Operations Manager of five Recovery Shelters for women and children from backgrounds of trafficking for sex , labor, or domestic violence situations.
