Launch of
Living Stories:
In Her Footsteps
By Morene Sim
November 2008 saw the seed been sown by the Mission Link Committee (MLC) to publish a collection of stories by Good Shepherd partners as part of the Heritage Year 2009 celebrations.
Nine months later, in August 2009, we witness the birth of Living Stories: In Her Footsteps.
The publication was a much-anticipated event. The MLC, like any mother, underwent labour pains to give birth to its new-born. Imagine the MLC’s thrill and delight on receiving the publication when it was delivered - all 5,000 copies of it!
As with any proud parent, the MLC was ready to present this new-born to all partners in the Province of Singapore-Malaysia. The official launch of Living Stories: In Her Footsteps on 23 August 2009 in Kuala Lumpur by Sr Susan Chia (Province Leader) and Sr Dorothy Khaw (Chairperson, MLC) was greeted with much joy and pride by some 100 GS partners present!
The MLC appreciates the contributors who shared their stories willingly and candidly, the donors who gave generously, and the Province Leadership Team which supported the publication unreservedly.
Truly, the publication, as well as the launch, is an excellent demonstration of partnership effort at work!
