In Their Shoes with Rich and Rokus Rich Pulice and Rokus Loopik

Rich Pulice has been traveling to Uganda about 13 times. His foundation Heartsounds US developes projects in Uganda to help Woman and Children. Over the years nearly $100.000 have found it's way to that beatiful country, apart from goods and food that people are in need off. 
In this Podcast episode we talk about personal and other reasons why Rich and his nine Board Members are happy and active volunteers.

We met Jonathan for the first time in 2011 when he was the Director of Peer Support Services, Division of Wellness, Recovery & Community Integration at Kings County Hospital in Brooklyn, New York.
His wisdom on Peer Support is profound and not surprisingly also comes from his own lived experience. What’s cool and special is the fact that he combines this with his academic and research interests; and recently in 2020 earned his Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.).
Jonathan’s amalgam of experience makes for a special episode of “In Their Shoes” with Rich and Rokus. It's easy to add more facts and figures to his record of accolades and accomplishments in addition to being a great advocate, friend, and mentor.
