Zafira is a Sudanese woman who came to Australia as a refugee. She obtained refugee status three years ago and has been living with her three children in community housing. Zafira is keen to get work, so she can help support her family. In Sudan, she worked as a chef for a restaurant, so she has cooking skills. She speaks Arabic and her English is limited, and finding work is not easy. Zafira has trouble reading and understanding employment advertisements, and when she does knock on the door of one restaurant to ask for work, she is turned away. Zafira feels it is because she is African. After three months of no success in finding work, Zafira starts to feel depressed. She has no means to support her children, and they don't have enough money to live on. Zafira feels cut off from her community and Sudanese culture. She finds living in Australia very isolating and lonely. Zafira is gaining weight as a result of little exercise and poor diet of cheap fast-food. Her depression contributes to her weight gain.
Paula is working with Zafira to try and support her wellbeing and link her to appropriate resources. Paula has never worked with a woman from Africa before; she doesn't know much about Sudanese culture. When Zafira tells Paula, she used to work in a restaurant, she is surprised, as she didn't think there were restaurants in Sudan.
Zafira asks Paula if she knows anyone who could employ her. Paula has a friend who owns a restaurant but is not sure if it is appropriate to ask a friend. What if the employment doesn't work out?

Richard is an older man living alone in his own home. He has Parkinson's disease and is looked after by his daughter, Victoria, who lives next door. Other than Victoria and the visiting support worker, Pieter, Richard doesn't see many people. He avoids leaving the house because he is ashamed of his condition. He is also worried that he will have a fall. Victoria encourages Richard to stay at home; she too is worried her father will fall.

Richard played a lot of golf when he was younger and before he was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. He misses the sport, especially walking across the course. He also misses social contact, and feels that, as an older person with an illness, he has no contribution to make to society. He was a doctor before retiring and helped many people. Richard finds his deteriorating health frustrating and depressing.

Pablo is Catholic and is from Columbia. He hasn't been back to Columbia for forty years, but still speaks Spanish at home with his wife, Gloria.

Other than speaking in Spanish with his wife Gloria, Pablo has little contact with his Columbian roots. He misses his home country every day. His lack of cultural contact contributes to feelings of alienation and despair, particularly as he ages. None of Gloria or Pablo's children speak Spanish. Gloria can no longer cook because of her arthritis and they rely on meals delivered by the local council and ready-to-eat meals from the supermarket. As a result, they now rarely eat Spanish foods.

Pablo stopped going to church many years ago, when he felt the Australian congregation did not reflect his beliefs and values. In Columbia, he had been a devout Catholic, and attended all the ceremonies and festivals. He finds the lack of celebration and ritual in the Australian Catholic Church alienating.
