— Develop the mind, transform the situation into happiness, then it becomes a beautiful island, pure land, heaven. —

Henrike
Korner
Henrike lives in Sydney. She was inspired to become a volunteer teacher while on the 2005 Chasing Buddha Pilgrimage with Ven. Robina Courtin, the prison project's executive director. She joined the team a year later.
"Some of the prisoners' questions are quite challenging, but it's also rewarding to work out a solution that suits the needs of individual prisoners."
