This week’s pic was taken by Shanella Majid. “As the sun sets and meets the sea it leaves behind a natural light of beauty which is appealing and brings a happy relaxing feeling,” Shanella said.
Shanella is now in the draw to win this month’s $150 gift card! Good luck!

TN0312 23-01-19 TN Ailan View ad with Sponsor 15x4 Council proud to offer support This week I had the privilege to be invited to the Zenadth Kes Empowered Women, Empower Women workshop on Warraber, Torres Strait Island Regional Council Mayor Phillemon Mosby writes… The workshop saw women representative from across the region work participate in activities and speak openly and honestly about their lived experiences. It was a fantastic couple of days. In the evening I was invited to speak to the ladies about our council support for women in leadership, which I think is absolutely critical. Council plays an important role to build community capabilities and capacity. Understanding the dynamics of the social norms in community and giving a place for women to
not only participate, engage, but to also be actively supporting each other, seeing and recognising leaders among their own selves in their own social groups. A lot of ladies came out of their shells, they felt empowered. It was great to fund and facilitate an event that brought women together to not only share their stories but recognise that there was a lot of similarities and common interests and aspirations for the place of women in today’s society, whether that’s politically, culturally, spiritually or economically. A lot of ladies broke their silence and felt comfortable and supported to be able to express and share their story. Our Council was proud to support this fantastic event.
