Kim Edwards has truly had a life filled with adventure and benevolent achievement. Her journey has taken her across the world but her story is notably centred on the Middle East.
She has opened schools and training institutions in Saudi Arabia and Afghanistan and has co-ordinated war relief efforts in Iraq and Lebanon.
She has also co-ordinated underground endurance events, such as triathlons and marathons, in countries where it is illegal to conduct such events. She was even caught on a couple of occasions.
Kim has narrowly avoided kidnapping, educated the earliest cohorts of Arabic women, represented Australia at the world triathlon championships and is now working with Indigenous Australians in the remote Torres Strait Islands, and there is little sign she is slowing down anytime soon.
She speaks about all of this, and more, on the latest episode of How Good are Humans.
Enjoy!
