He championed both of us at the very beginning of our careers. He believed in us, encouraged us, loved and supported us at every step of our lives. Not just us … but our whole family. Brian was the most generous, thoughtful, creative and authentic of men.

Update: End of my first day here in #Somalia. I am at a Stabilisation Centre where severely malnourished children are being brought in to try to recuperate. These are confronting places – but also places where #miracles happen. @worldvisionaus https://t.co/oxt3vF5c1I

This is heartbreaking. The people of Somalia and other vulnerable communities need support to avoid a devastating famine. Learn more - https://t.co/8X0kGKqtCS

[World Vision AUS @WorldVisionAus]

It's the 11th hour for people facing #famine in Somalia. There's only been two famines in the world this century. But unless we act NOW, a third will be declared, plunging hundreds of thousands of children, women and men into devastation. Stand with us to #fightfamine.
