The Ripple Effect of Volunteering: Stories of Empowerment and Equality

20 Jun 2023

Description

Discover how volunteering can spark powerful, positive change in our communities as we chat with Alaina McGregor, founder of the 10 x 10 movement. Hear her incredible journey from leading a small group of volunteers to creating a global force for good, inspiring countless others along the way. Whether you're a volunteer veteran or just beginning, this episode will surely motivate you to make a difference. We also tackle the sensitive issue of racial bias in healthcare, sharing a disturbing story of a friend denied an operation because they were "too white and too rich." This cautionary tale underscores the need for fairness and equality in our healthcare system, as we discuss the challenges of addressing such biases.  Lastly, we share our personal experiences with volunteering and charitable work, from producer Kim' work with pandas in China to my anonymous acts of charity. And don't miss our ongoing discussion on Kim's Cheezel-induced dental troubles! Join us for this engaging and thought-provoking conversation about the significance of volunteering, confronting racial bias in healthcare, and the transformative power of giving back to our communities.   --------- EPISODE CHAPTERS --------- (0:00:10) - Volunteering and Racial Bias in Healthcare(0:09:15) - Philanthropy and Volunteering Movement(0:20:07) - New Zealand Charity and Volunteering(0:25:23) - Grassroots Giving and Volunteering     Learn more about your ad choices.
