Para Paheer is lucky to be alive. As a Tamil growing up in Sri Lanka he endured repression and horror. The final bloodshed of the three decade civil war drove him to risk his life on a boat to Australia. That boat sank eight years ago today, with Para among the survivors. On that poignant anniversary Para and his friend and sponsor Alison Corke are launching a book The Power of Good People in which Para shares his story to thank all those who saved him along the way.
