As I’ve been away the past few days, I thought to keep the ball rolling with this blog I’d share a quick video from Care Australia about the Child Food Crisis and how you can help! I’ve been away in Canberra over the past five days campaigning for child health, and so this crisis really […]
MoreI thought I’d write a few World Cup themed blogs over the next few days as this global sporting event seems to have everyone talking! Whilst the 4.30am soccer games can be exciting (or perhaps disappointing!), the most exciting aspect of this year’s World Cup is that it’s Africa’s first time as the host nation, […]
