This week, after an introductory chat with Scott about Kenya and the challenges in Africa, Cameron chats with Lalita Ari, co-founder of Oasis Africa. During a visit to Kibera (Kenya) in June 2005, Lalita’s friend Kim Winter discovered a community of 100 orphans learning in a dark, small sewage-ridden, unsafe iron shed. After seeing the need first hand, Kim and Lalita decided to start ‘Oasis Africa - The Kibera School for orphans Project’ to raise awareness and funds to help create a better future for these children by providing food, education, shelter, safety, health services and essential trauma counselling they require to make a difference.

Lalita Ari

We think Lalita and Kim deserve a heap of attention for taking action and demonstrating what one or two regular people can do to make a better world if they just make a decision to have a go. I’m sure you will all get inspiration from listening to Lalita’s story.

You can support Oasis Africa’s work by buying a copy of Lalita’s CD (profits of this CD will go to the care and running of a school) and you can directly support Oasis Africa with financial contributions by going to their site.

Join Scott Sherman and Cameron Reilly as we go on a journey of discovery. In each episode we will be taking a major issue facing the world today - it might be Iraq or terrorism or Sudan or third world debt or gay marriage - and inviting guests who are experts in the field to help us understand the issue and, most importantly, what we can do as individuals to make the world a better place.

    The inspiration for the show is R. Buckminster Fuller’s lifelong experiment to discover what one person what do to improve humanity’s condition that large organizations, governments, or private enterprises inherently could not do.

    In this first episode, Scott and Cameron discuss their individual motivations for wanting to make the world a better place.
