Recognising the troubles faced by these communities, Tom realised his role as ambassador – to take the responsibility to educate young Australians about things they may take for granted, like access to clean water, which can be a daily and often dangerous challenge for millions of people around the world.
Now back in Melbourne, Tom returns to the field for his pre-season training with a lot more perspective than before. He hopes other Australians, including his team mates, will support the amazing change-making work of World Vision.
