Ronni Kahn Australian Hero of the Year 2010, Founder of OzHarvest spoke about her special lunch with the Dalai Lama who had asked her to go on MASTER CHEF to promote giving food to the homeless and hungry.
Ronnie spoke passionately about her journey to establish a fleet of vans collecting excess meals and foods for the homeless, disadvantaged supplying now 354 charities.
She’s a dynamo getting Woolworths, ALDI & IGA on board. OzHarvest collects 20 tons of food every day distributing to Sydney, Canberra, Newcastle and Adelaide and opening in Brisbane on 1st September.
The luncheon hosted by Angela Mentis Executive General Manager NAB was warm, wonderful and dynamic with 20 amazing women there celebrating OzHarvest – Sandra Levy CEO Australian Film & Radio School, Natasha Stot- Despoja former Australian Democrats Leader and on Not For Profit boards, Annalise Law MD of Kanga Group and Telstra Woman of the Year … and of course Ronni.
Annalise said that her company was supporting Father Chris Riley and Kids Off The Street last week. My daughter and I were cooking dinner last week for teens in trouble, in an inner city Kids Off The Street house. The stars were aligned and as the Dalai lama says:-
‘Our prime purpose in this life is to help others’
