Talia saw how we could change the world using #FMNR when in Kenya with her mum, our superstar ambassador @melissadoyle. She told @morningshowon7 'Climate's a pressing issue for my generation. Seeing David’s farm and how green it was in such a dry country was incredible.'

My heart is heavy with the recent news of #NovaKakhova dam's destruction and flooding that affected thousands of #Ukraine's population near the #DniproRiver. The impact on children's lives and future is heartbreaking. This needs to stop; lives must be saved.

When I first started at @WorldVisionAus four years ago, I was told the work of one of our staff members to reforest the world could be seen from space! The man was Tony Rinaudo. Excited to see #FMNR scale up, this really could help slow climate change. – at Victoria, Australia

With #CycloneMocha threatening the world's biggest refugee camp #CoxsBazar, it's timely to revisit a searing insight into life there. "More than 40,000 people per sq km coexist in the camps, compared to Sydney with its 407 people per sq km." thenewdaily.com.au/news/worl…
