Rumana welcomes her post-grad students, Daniel and Simon, to share their stories of growing up in a turbulent time in Uganda - how they helped people affected by conflict; and how conflict, climate change, and the COVID-19 pandemic are all interconnected. Daniel and Simon will surely inspire you to think twice, about how you can make a difference from your own position, as a lawyer, as an aid worker, as a project manager or simply as a member of the public who wants to know how displaced people thrive, with a little help from people like Daniel and Simon. Daniel is a lawyer, who opened his own organisation with his friends, to provide legal aid support to displaced people. He soon realised that by putting people and local agencies in the driving seat, he can change the way the humanitarian and development sector works. Simon worked closely with refugees to help them integrate socially, with the help of local government, non-government organisations and the United Nations. He is passionate about reducing the impact of climate change and shared his first-hand experience of COVID-19 pandemic. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/my-mars-mantra/message
