So good to have you with me.
Good to be here, Owen, for a very special episode today.
Yes, it is an extra, extra special episode. We often say that, but this one is indeed an extra special episode because we're doing something different for the show this year. As many people will know, we spent a lot of the early part of 2021 focused on financial resilience. And we tried to profile the story of some listeners and some people out there who had been through some hardship financially and what they'd done to come through the other side. And that was kind of really inspiring. And this time we're hoping to inspire everyone in a different way. So if you're listening to this and you're thinking, What can I do with my money, have an impact and feel good about it?
What does The Life You Can Save organization do?
Please listen on. Kate, can you tell us a bit more about the Rask Christmas Giving Appeal?
This year, we really wanted to personally give back and encourage our wider community and networks to give back to two organizations specifically but giving back to any organization is good now books, but these two particular organizations are the Smith family, which is focused on educating young Australians and really closing that gap. um when it comes to education and making sure that everyone has equal access to all of the things including like school books and excursions and career development programs and the other organization is the life you can say which we've spoken to peter singer on the show before so listeners may be familiar with his name but this organization is mostly focused internationally but focused on
getting you in touch with the charities that are doing the most good in the world and are doing it effectively. And they measure this impact. So they really narrow down this selection for you. So when you donate to them, you can donate to their chosen charities that really are saving the most amount of lives so i guess in today's episode we're just going to introduce it we're going to talk to peter and we're also going to talk to doug from the smith family a little bit about their organizations what they do and how you can personally get involved this christmas time
So we've invited these two experts in their field and these two leaders in their field to tell us a little bit about their organizations.
