Truth and Independence

With this podcast we give our community the opportunity to get to know the Giraffe Heroes behind the foundation better by gaining deeper insight into their work. Thus you will have an opportunity of a direct encounter with these personalities sticking their necks out for the common good, fighting for the social issues that matter: justice, freedom, our environment. In our podcast, commended Giraffes are talking with us about the issues that count most for them and which drive them “To Stick their Necks Out” for our common good. We offer you a direct and often very personal "look" behind the scenes of their day to day activities. What made them start fighting for their local communities? How did they manage to cope with and overcome resistance? And yes, what concerns them and which dangers do they perceive as threatening the success of their struggle? Be inspired and have fun! The interviews for the first 60 episodes were conducted by Yampier Aguiar Durañona.

episode 15: "Out of sight"


Hive Uganda - making changes last

Ojok Simon is from Uganda. The 2012 kanthari graduate, is a beekeeper, an environmentalist, a human rights activist and also almost blind. At age thirteen, Ojok survived an armed attack to his village that led to his blindness. But also made Hive Uganda possible.

Enjoy listening about Ojoks activities and how he has managed to create a sustainable enterprise with wild beekeeping for the blind people in Uganda. We want and need to ask you for a little extra patience today. Internet connection and technical equipment in rural areas is not always as stable and up to the standard as we need it and are used to – but we’re sure – if you just slow down a little and let your mind travel with todays’ podcast, your conscience will overcome its rather poor audio quality and capture Ojoks message: “I want to leave a legacy, a history on how to change things and move on”.
