Women of the Year 2004 - Helen Margaret Hall

Helen Hall, the founder and volunteer principal of Eden Valley Academy, in NW Thailand, is a descendent of hardy pioneers from the Australian outback. She has always felt called to foreign mission service. In her youth, Hall served as a Teacher and the Preceptress at Kabiufa College, in Papua, New Guinea. For the next 18 years she worked in the Victorian Conference, Southern Australia, before taking a leave of absence in 1980 to travel by bus from Katmandu, Nepal, to London, England. During this trip the great need of Asian children caught her attention, and she took a leave of absence from her Australian position to teach in a Thai government school among the Karen people. That leave has continued for 23 years.
