In this episode John is joined in conversation by CEO of World Vision Australia, Daniel Wordsworth on the ground in Romania, having just been in Ukraine assisting people displaced by the war. Daniel talks about the important work World Vision is doing to help those in need - including creating corridors for people seeking safe passage out of the country, restocking food supplies and providing shelter. Before becoming the CEO of World Vision Australia in 2021, Daniel served in the Royal Australian Navy and held leadership positions at charitable organisations ChildFund International and Alight. World Vision is a Christian humanitarian organisation that provides short and long-term assistance to more than 100 million people worldwide. As well as working to lift children and families out of poverty, World Vision also assists those in emergency humanitarian crises including those displaced by the war in Ukraine.
