In 2005 and again from 2008 till the present she has had the privilege to yearly conduct 3 day workshops together with Dr. Sue Marsden for the training faculty of Hospis Malaysia in Kuala Lumpur Malaysia.

Topics of the 3 day workshop: “Suffering and Hope”

Dr. Ednin Hamzah of Hospis Malaysia and his team are very passionate about strengthening the availability and quality of palliative care in Malaysia and the Asia Pacific region. They have been working very hard in this area, with incredible results.

Over a period of 2 years she worked in collaboration with the staff of "Rachel House" a paediatric community palliative care team who are making a tremendous difference working with the poor in the slums of Jakarta, Indonesia. She co-facilitated this work with Dr Sue Marsden.

Made possible with a generous sponsorship of the "Girls helping Girls Fund" Waiheke Island NZ.

She completed a 2 year trauma recovery-training programme in Samoa on invitation of and working together with the NGO: Women in Business Development Initiatives Incorporated, their website is: www.womeninbusiness.ws

This programme had being developed in response to the trauma, loss and devastation caused by the September 2009 Tsunami and consisted of 10 visits each lasting about 10 days. the clients of WIBDI were greatly affected by the tsunami and many lost their livelihoods. Dr. Sue Marsden and Liese trained the staff of WIBDI in working with their traumatised and grieving clients and families, as well as paying attention to the affects the tsunami had on the team. Both facilitators accompanied staff on their field visits and had the privilege to be invited into the families' fales and be part of hearing the stories, looking at assistance, to facilitate the healing process.

This project was generously funded by Oxfam New Zealand.

Over a period of 6 years (2001-2007) she was part of a Filipino medical specialist team, involved in assisting with the set up of a palliative care training programme in San Lazaro Hospital, a large infectious diseases hospital for the poor in Manila, The Philippines.

Her main focus in the program was attending to the high burn out rates of staff, facilitating workshops in staff-care as well as training the Filipino team in the facilitation of grief and self-care workshops. Her involvement in this programme was completed in 2007. This programme is up and running and the trainers in Manila are conducting ongoing training programmes in palliative care throughout the Philippines.

The other part of her work in Samoa was as a team member of the inaugural Palliative Care Workshop for Healthcare-Professionals, Non-Health care Professionals and Volunteers initiated and organised by the Oceania University of Medicine in Mootua Apia, Samoa. The purpose of this first workshop was to create a platform to introduce Palliative Care into the Oceania University of Medicine curriculum for both the graduate MD course and the undergraduate MBBS course. This 5 day course was attended by 45 participants from all walks of life, volunteers, familie members dealing with a dying loved one, nurses, doctors etc. Out of this workshop a Samoan steering group has been formed establishing palliative care in Samoa and linking with the Samoan Cancer Society.
