“For those children, no one can put them through school … they don’t have support anywhere else. When I set up this one so they can go to school, they get health care, they live in a good environment where they’re studying … education is the key of everything,” says Aduk Dau, founder of Lost Children of Jonglei Scholarships.
This week, we join Aduk Dau at her Women's Afternoon Tea fundraiser and see the inspiring story about her passion to provide secondary school education to vulnerable South Sudanese youth, displaced by civil war and living as refugees in Kakuma Refugee Camp, Kenya.
“You can unite over negative things,” says youth worker and mentor, Nathan Brewer, “but if you unite over a healthy thing like sport, or a really positive thing like helping others … it’s so good, and you see people come to life.”
In this Helping Hands panel discussion, Nathan is joined by Felicia Limmer, Vision Radio breakfast host; and Michaela Chanmugam, Marketing and Communications Manager at Samaritan’s Purse, to discuss communities that make a difference.
Keith Garner, Collett Smart and Nathan Brewer join host Laura Bennett to discuss the benefits of being part of a vibrant and life-giving community to both the community and the individuals.
