This week marks 40 years since the fall of the Khmer Rouge in Cambodia. The violence of the dictatorship crippled the nation, and violence against the poor continues to this day--in the form of trafficking. But change is possible: https://t.co/GXitOwvDks
We spent our last 2 days in Cambodia learning more about IJM’s work and the issue of #modernslavery. We’ve raised just shy of $90k for @IJMAus and are proud to support the efforts of this incredible organisation.

Here it is - Cambodia report for day 5. We did it! We’ve cycled 250kms across Cambodia and we’ve raised $88,310.71 for @IJMAus! Congratulations Team WK #TeamWK#ijmaus#communityfootprint
Day 2 of WK’s Cambodia Cycle Challenge - we did it!! 80kms; 9.5 hours; 2 temples; water buffalo; hundreds of smiling kids; vibrant green rice fields; and friendly villagers. An awesome day, and a great achievement by Team WK!

Pouring rain was not ideal for a rooftop sausage sizzle, but our fantastic team of volunteers and supporters turned up and supported anyway! We raised $1000 for @IJMAus and had amazing conversations with people about #modernslavery. Thank you!

@JcorkerJohn @WottonKearney Thanks @JcorkerJohn. There’s so much support out there for law firms setting up pro bono programs, including the always helpful APBC!
Tomorrow marks 5 years of offshore detention for 1650 people.
125 of them are children.
40 have never experienced a single day of freedom in their lives.
Whatever the question, wrecking the lives of these kids is not the answer.

Great to partner with @SimplyCupsAust to enable our staff to recycle single-use coffee cups. Whilst we continue to advocate for everyone to use reusable cups, for now we can help ensure that single-use coffee cups do not end up in landfill.

Earlier this week I watched the documentary ‘Border Politics’ in which @JulianBurnside traverses the globe to see how other countries treat refugees. Here are my thoughts https://t.co/ez3tkdnQOS
Tech for social justice! David Spriggs from @Infoxchange talking about the AskIzzy app and how it connects the homeless with vital services. 1 in 200 people in Australia are homeless on any one night; 80% have access to a smartphone so this is a great way to share info #2030NOWAU
