Specific MDGs for the promotion of Gender Equality and Empower women, improving Maternal Heath, and combating HIV/AIDS and other diseases have strengthened Margarette, professionally, to become a consecrated member of the Lower Myanmar Methodist Church. Margarette was raised in an inter-denominational Christian family to become a 57-year old grandmother of two. Her clinical background and Medico-Social Works for over two decades nurtured her to sympathise on the Sexually Transmitted Diseases and HIV-infected women which has lead her to head the Australian Government-funded Red Cross HIV/AIDS Prevention and Care Programme. Meanwhile, her volunteering Consultations for the Non-Violence International, focusing on the helpless landmine victims has lead Myanmar, to be revealed both as ‘a user and producer country of Landmines’ to the rest of the world. Moreover, the devastating Cyclone NARGIS, which approx. took 150,000 lives in the Delt in 2008 gave birth to many concerned Religio-Humanitairan Relief and Recovery Workers overnight. All of these have now counted-in to give way for two more units to jointly focus on the MDGs through networking amongst denominational church women, contributing Myanmar to be an active South-Asian Country, to make a dedicated difference for the Glory of God.
