Helen Zammit is a salt-of-the-earth kind of person. She adds flavour and life to whatever community context she finds herself in. Through some early life experiences of grief and loss, Helen has nurtured the gift of holding loss and grief in the stories of others. Her gift of other-centred listening is one that embodies the life wisdom quote by the late Oscar Romero: “There are some things that can only be seen through eyes that have cried.”
