Christian Youth Ambassador
Aged 20, New South Wales

Our trip to World Vision Projects in East Timor was deeply impacting because it exposed me to the need of our nearest neighbours and how we have a responsibility to make a difference through supporting the incredible work that World Vision is doing with local communities.  

This progress is the kind of thing that I love seeing happen and that I want to support and encourage others to get on board with.  As World Vision Christian Ambassador for the 40 Hour Famine I have the unique privilege to share these stories with Australian Christians and show them what a difference World Vision is making in people’s lives. Christians have a responsibility to fight injustice and help the needy and oppressed in the world. Although global poverty is a hugely complicated issue, we need to start where we can.
