Sole Survivors!
Is it just me or does everyone hope to make a difference?
There is an amazing sunshine coast psychologist called Robi Sonderegger…I’ve talked about him before, his is devoted to child victims of war in Northern Uganda.
Northern Uganda is a terrible place for a child to live, a rebel army has turned the region into hell on earth.
Children are regularly stolen from their families, forced to watch as their own family members are killed, raped, sold into slavery and made to fight.
Robi is trying to rehabilitate these damaged children…give them trauma counselling and show them the healing power of love.
In the next year, Robi, through his family challenge organisation hopes to rehabilitate one million men women and children…and he has an idea…
Every single person he attracts to his clinics…he wants to give a pair of shoes.
No children in Northern Uganda wear shoes…not some children…no children in Northern Uganda wear shoes…the adults who wear shoes are generally in refashioned car tyres…true story…
But Robi needs a million pairs of shoes…you’re going to hear a lot more about it during the month of august…with some help from Win television the Sunshine Coast Daily and Mix FM the sunshine coast is going to make a difference…I am sure of it…
The first event is this Monday night at Birch Carol and Coyle…the premiere of the movie Live and Become has been donated to Robi…by Chris and the team at the cinema…tickets are ten dollars a head…and we want you to bring along a pair of shoes to give to a Ugandan…maybe even take off the shoes you’re wearing and walk home in your socks…a small sacrifice for a nation that deserves a break…
