18.Easter Special (Part 2): Anne’s Way2Happiness – Living for the Sake of Others | Building Communities

In Part 2 of our Easter special, we continue the inspiring journey of Anne Bellavance—a woman who has quietly transformed lives through her philosophy of “living for the sake of others.”
In this episode, we focus on how Anne lives that philosophy through community building—locally and globally. As President of Women’s Federation for World Peace (WFWP) Australia, Anne has spent decades mentoring women, empowering families, and strengthening multicultural ties.
From the Global Women’s Peace Network (GWPN) to cultural events like the Melbourne Pacific Festival, and hands-on global aid in island nations—Anne’s work is a testament to how leadership rooted in service can change the world, one community at a time.
Whether you’re a teacher, parent, mentor, or community member, Anne’s story will remind you: you don’t need a title to lead—you just need a heart willing to give.
