Human of Kangaroo Island honoured

Humans of Kangaroo Island founder Sabrina Davis is one of 20 women inducted to the South Australian Women’s Honour Roll last week.


Held every two years, the Honour Roll acknowledges and celebrates the diversity of women in the community and their commitment to effecting change.


The women were recognised at a reception at Government House, hosted by Her Excellency the Honourable Frances Adamson AC, Governor of South Australia, and Mr Rod Bunten.


Minister for Human Services Michelle Lensink has congratulated the new inductees for going above and beyond in their exceptional contributions to the South Australian community as leaders, inspiring role models and champions of change.


“Each and every one of these women are inspiring our next generation of women leaders by showing just how much is possible,” she says.


“Their work reflects the many South Australian women actively involved in making a difference in our community in everything from medicine, to child protection, domestic violence and the arts.


“I congratulate these remarkable women on their diverse work and volunteering efforts which have each made rich and important contributions to our society.


A community fundraiser and passionate advocate for her island home, Sabrina Davis started Humans of Kangaroo Island to lift spirits by sharing stories of the people who make the place unique.


The Facebook page, website and book reflect the tight-knit community of hard-working and positive individuals from all parts of the world. 


“Like all regional women I just want to help my community where I can without expecting any recognition for it,” Sabrina says.


“To be part of the 2021 honour roll by the office for women was an incredible honour though, and a great way to celebrate what an important role women play in our society.”


The print version of Humans of Kangaroo Island was recently inducted into the Parliamentary library and the eBook version will be available from 24 November.


Eligible women included in the SA Women's Honour Roll are nominated for the Australian of the Year Awards each year to provide national recognition for the contribution they make to the community.
