Short and sweet little piece in The Lismore Northern Star about Vahideh Hosseini, regional manager for the Red Cross in Lismore, Australia, who is assiting with the support, comfort and care of victims of Cyclone Larry, which hit the North Coast of Australia last week. From the Northern Star:

Like those she is helping now, Vahideh was once left homeless.

A member of the Baha’i religion, she moved to Australia 18 years ago as a refugee from Iran after suffering persecution for her faith.

The Red Cross provided her with travel documents that allowed her to come here, inspiring her to help others.
