Last Friday, several Adelaide Light Rotary members attended the launch of "The Afghan Interpreter" by new author Joseph Cassar.
The book is based on a true story of an Afghan man who provided interpreter services for Australian forces and, along with his family, was one of the last evacuated after the fall of Kabul to Taliban forces - a very emotional read.
Profits from book sales will be used to fund charities supporting those living in poverty in Afghanistan and furthering girls’ education in Afghanistan.
It was great to catch up with Gill Hicks MBE AM, who was a Keynote speaker at District 9500's Conference in 2015 (AdLight organised this Conference in DG John Campbell's year). Gill interviewed the author, and Katey Halliday did the introduction on the night.
