Reach Beyond Palms Australia
-
- 社会／文化
This podcast unpacks the challenge and excitement of reaching beyond. It’s based on Palms Australia’s experience of encouraging and supporting Australians to ‘Reach Beyond’ since 1961.
Reach Beyond what you may ask? Well, beyond where you are, but it’s more about WHY? Are you feeling comfortable, but perhaps just a little bored?
Most of those we speak with have either offered their skills on the frontline of international development, or supported those who do. However what you’ll notice is this sojourn is as much about the new life discovered as the new life offered.
