Don't Log Off - Opportunity
Alan Dein searches for the stories that connect us in a changing world.
Today, Alan hears stories from people who’ve transformed their lives and are helping others to do the same against the backdrop of the pandemic.
He speaks to Alhaji in Sierra Leone who’s building a house for his parents from the money he’s earned working in the United States.
He hears from Tiffany in India who helps visually impaired people become more independent, after her own challenging childhood.
Alan also connects with Al in the United States who aims to inspire young people in a tough area of Chicago.
And he catches up with Ibrahim who, at the start of the pandemic, was homeless on the streets of Athens. Nine months on, Ibrahim’s life has changed beyond recognition.
Plus, Margaret in Uganda – who cares for youngsters orphaned by AIDS – shares her hopes for the new year.
Producers: Sarah Shebbeare & Laurence Grissell
