Conversations and connections: "A rising tide lifts all boats"
A conversation with Lucas Patchett, one of the co-founders of Orange Sky, a for purpose organisation, explores the story behind regular shower and laundry services they provide for homeless through 33 vans plus an opportunity for safe, positive and supportive conversations across Australia and New Zealand.
Orange Sky is one of the world's first free mobile laundry services for people experiencing homelessness.
In what started out as an idea for hygiene standard and to restore dignity to people doing it tough has evolved into something much bigger and more powerful. You'll hear how volunteers have engaged in more than 232, 000 hours of conversation and how Orange Sky is currently changing the perception of homelessness by positively connecting community through conversation right across Australia and changing the perception of homelessness.
Mike Yankoski - an American writer and speaker, prompts us to think beyond ourselves when we wrote "Sometimes it's easy to walk by because we know we can't change someone's whole life in a single afternoon. But what we fail to realize it that simple kindness can go a long way toward encouraging someone who is stuck in a desolate place."
We learn that by connecting and contributing to community through action Lucas , his Co- founder, Nic and over 200 volunteers with Orange Sky ...embody the quote "A rising tide lifts all boats".
