'A special tribute to 'Teresa Austin'

One of our founder members,Teresa Austin,passed away one year ago this week.

Teresa made a huge contribution to the WATF project and her encouragement and support were instrumental in setting up WATF.

Dale and Teresa wrote a special song for us entitled 'Ocean Serenity.'

Teresa you brought a 'ray of light' into this world and we will never forget you and we will continue our work in your honour.

I know you are now with the Lord and our prayers and thoughts are with you and your family.

God Bless you and keep you.

Paul, Deborah and Renee. WATF Team.

Teresa would have wanted us to post something positive and uplifting so here is a poem/lyrics written by Teresa which shows her deep humanitarian gifts as a special person.

'GLOBAL FASHION'

Lyrics by Teresa Austin,

*
We took a trip across the world
and we made it safe back home
We went out on a mission
and we never were alone
We didn’t want to take at all
we only wished to give
the world a better place
for all children to live
*
CHORUS
This is the style of our global fashion
Friendship, Peace and Hope
model neighbor compassion
as the wounds are dressed
and cloth adorns the free
we’ll celebrate a new leaf
on our global tree
*
We have a woven cloth to share,
as we move across this earth.
We put US inside your boots
because we know what life is worth.
Peace! Dignity! Compassion!
Love! Embracing Passion!
Hope for future peace since
Freedom can’t be rationed!
*
(REPEAT CHORUS)
*
When we look back on all our routes
we hope that you will find
A trail that leads up a path
of goodwill for mankind.
A gift that we will leave for you
is a gift to help remind
that part of US is here to sew
world peace that we can bind
