RCA Social Evening with Kim Burley

From War Orphan to Online Educator

Dr Kim Burley's start to life was not auspicious. She was abandoned by her birth mother in hospital just days after she was born and spent the first six months of her life in an orphanage in war-torn Vietnam. Luckily escaping Saigon only five weeks before the fall of the city in 1975, Kim was brought to a new life in Adelaide by the Australian Refugee Association. 
Today, Kim's life belies those humble beginnings; she has been truly blessed with a wonderful adopted family, amazing opportunities, and a life dedicated to helping others through education, music, and service.
At our March social night, Kim will take you on a journey through Vietnam. Seen through the eyes of a returning "Viet Kieu" or "overseas Vietnamese" person, you will behold the majesty of this breathtaking country of beauty and contradictions. Kim will also share insights into growing up as the only Asian face in her school and community, her deeds of service, and how her life journey has led her to the Rotary Club of Adelaide.
If travel to Vietnam has not been on your bucket list, then after Kim's talk, it will be.
