On Sunday night Sheridan Voysey from Hope 103.2 FM performed a live interview with Jim Goddard, founder of the Manly-Manado movement, and Stu Harris, photographer of the recently launched Love in Action book (www.loveinaction.com.au).  It was a very positive interview with Sheridan asking lots of questions about the mutual transfomation gained by both communities and encouraging others to consider establishing their own community partnership.

Over 200 people gathered at the Novotel Manly Pacific on Friday 31 July to celebrate the launch of Love in Action. Distinguished guests included: Acting Consul General of The Republic of Indonesia – Mr Pratito Soeharyo, Manly Mayor – Jean Hay, Manly MP – Mike Baird, Ken Duncan, the Manadonese Community of Sydney KMMK and the founder of Manly-Manado – Jim Goddard. Thank you to everyone who came along to the launch and bought a copy of the book.

Love in Action tells the story of how the people of Manly decided to take action against poverty. Stu Harris, one of the authors, stated ‘We’ve written this book to tell you, you can make the world a better place. Love in Action will show you how ordinary people can take small steps to make a real difference.’

Why not consider buying a book for a family member or friend outside Manly, so they too may be inspired to take action against poverty.

Love in Action is now available for sale and can be purchased from:
   - the Manly-Manado website
   - Humphreys Newsagency in Manly (on the corso)
   - The Bible Society and the Bible Shop Online
   - Koorong Stores and Online
            (Recommended Retail price is $39.35 plus postage if required)

All profits from the photo exhibition and book sales will be donated to Manly-Manado and distributed to the development partners Bridge of Hope and Compassion.
