Surviving HG

This episode shines a light on the fading attention to the ongoing crisis in Ukraine. Join host Gift Osamwonyi as we hear from a CEO, a dedicated volunteer, and two Ukrainians who fled to the UK amidst the war's chaos. Through their experiences, we're reminded of the urgent need to amplify these voices, reignite public interest, and stand in solidarity with those affected. 

This podcast was produced and edited by Megan Turner, with the help of Maria Amaral and Reported by Gokul Aanandh, Syed Akhter, Thanh Hung Hugthhgn and Jenifer Chibuobasi.
