Ms Win Pe will be talking about her journey since then and how she changed her life so she can help others.

She will talk about her current activities in helping drought victims throughout Eastern Australia and the path that led her into becoming the new honorary ambassador for Rural Aid Australia.

Before the Lindt Cafe siege, Ms Win Pe had a career representing some of the world's leading global financial services brands. Since then, she has found a new mission in life, away from the financial services of her former career.

After hearing about the impact the drought was having on our region's farmers, she decided to climb into her car, leave her home in Sydney and learn as much as she could about the stories of endurance and hardship farmers across the country were experiencing.

Since then, she has travelled more than 800km to towns and farms around regional and rural NSW.

Ms Win Pe will be talking about her ordeal in Sydney and her journey from that point at the Forbes Services Memorial Club from 7:30pm on Wednesday November 20.

Forbes Rotarian Leo Butler said there is no charge to come and listen to Ms Win Pe's speech and it is open to everyone.

Mr Butler said that while there is no charge, affordable donations at the door would be appreciated.

The funds raised from the donations will go towards supporting the work of Rural Aid.

Tea, coffee and biscuits will be provided at the event.
