Palau's Yvonne Ueda on faith, conservation, community and farming dreams
Update: 2025-12-02
Description
To understand Yvonne Ueda's journey is to picture the weaving of a chedecholl mat — each strand a story, each imperfection a source of strength.
Her life has been shaped by preparation, patience, and partnership: from a winding educational path marked by setbacks, to discovering identity through motherhood, faith, and community.
Today, she leads conservation projects in Palau with The Nature Conservancy, inspires young people through her church, and tends to her own farm: a dream she hopes will one day become her full-time calling.
Listen to Yvonne's conversation with Stories From The Pacific, host Bobby Macumber on ABC Radio Australia.
