Hatrack Heroes!

Water... where would we be without it? It's unthinkable... something we would never even contemplate. It's our life source!
In 1st world countries, water is something most of us take for granted, something we drink, shower in, wash our clothes with, our dishes... and it's more often than not, clean enough to drink from the tap. Put it this way, we don't have too much care about how much is used, unless of course the Government puts restrictions on it due to drought or something like that... which in my life time (from memory) happened twice. The rest of the time, it's a free-for-all.
Now, take a moment to think how you would react, or what you would do if this was suddenly taken away from you!! Not something I want to even imagine, I tell you.
Well, this is the story of the lives of the indigenous communities of the Philippines... and i'm sure many other communities around the world.
In this episode we chat with Jo, who is airline crew in the middle east, but more importantly a water advocate, with her focus being in her home country in a region down south.
We will hear her talk about the trials these people have faced when it comes to water resources. But also hear about the amazing work her and her team are doing with the children in regards to this, and how cleanliness and hygiene are being taught as an extremely important way of life.
It's a lovely chat with Jo, very interesting to say the least, and i'm sure you will agree with me on this once you've had a listen.

Take yourself back a number of years, and picture the endless lines and groups of humans as they tried to escape the horrors of their homeland, and embark on a journey into a new country, a safe country. The refugee crisis was in full swing... young men, families with children... all striving for a better life, and in many cases, striving for life.
The image captured from this was one that our guest, Rando Wagner, experienced first hand, and really gave him drive and strength. The surreal feeling he got from this situation is something that has stayed with him ever since.
Rando Wagner's heart was touched, and a sense of solemness had thrust itself inside him... the sights he was seeing on the television was something else. The thoughts that entered into him were ones of horror and shock, and gave him chilling thoughts that reminded him of the history he'd been taught from days gone by in Germany.
This alone, gave him the trigger to utilise his position as cabin crew, and the time he had available to embark on a journey that would help and support the most vulnerable people as they tried to make the treacherous journey away from their war-torn homeland to pastures new.
Join us as Rando talks us through his project 'One Human Race', the stories he has lived through, and the amazing work that he and his team are doing.

Having experienced a sometimes tough upbringing back in her home country of the Philippines, we chat with Zen who tells us a bit about her journey from her childhood until now as she enriches the lives of children across the country through her vision of 'Seed', and also enriches the lives of those who are struggling over in the Middle East.
A simple memory of a kind-hearted person offering the young Zen a bowl of porridge while playing in the street has manifested a strong drive to want to give back to the community. Something small like this really triggered a chain reaction of goodness that Zen has acted upon through her faith in God.
Zen, who lives in Dubai, utilises her networks from her employment as airline crew, from church communities, and through an amazing band of volunteers to make the lives of many who are either suffering from poverty that much better.
Whether they be families who have lost income from Covid, or individuals who have had a tough time getting through life in general, or the children of the Philippines who need that extra help so they can get an education, and have that seed sewn into their lives so they can look forward to a beautiful life.
Join us for a chat full of humility and grace, and a heartfelt thankfulness for the life Zen has been able to lead.
