Paul Calvert chats to Kay Wilson about her traumatic experience, writing her memoir and going on to create The Yellow Brick Road project helping children in Israel.
Continued from page 3
Paul: Has everything that you have experienced helped to open doors, to go and speak into other governments and other nations?
Kay: Yes it has, I mean absurdly so for someone who just likes playing the piano, likes her wine, likes jazz music likes taking the dogs out, I mean I just found myself at the United Nations, that was good , I gave them a piece of my mind, you can see it on YouTube.
Paul: What is your hope for the future?
Kay: My hope for the future is that I will live to outlive this
interview, meaning, I don't like all these inspirational memes and
stuff but I do have a heightened awareness of the present, meaning
that this interview now is the best thing I have done in all my life
because I am very aware that this might be all I have, I don't know
what is going to happen in the next 10 minutes. So I have a kind of
sort-sighted vision of the future, as I am grateful that I am still
alive to conclude the interview. The long-sighted future dream is that
if I can help one Palestinian child by what I am doing with my friends
in that refugee camp, if we can save a child from being groomed and
give him a better education and make them a better person and we can
save the lives of innocent people.
