Hatrack Heroes!

Have you ever wondered about the “glamorous” lives led by beautiful cabin crew or well-navigated pilots? Well, it’s not necessarily about the shopping we might do, the beaches we sun-bake on, or the hotels and restaurants we frequent. In fact, it is often about experiencing countries from the farthest corners of the globe, and seeing first-hand the many sad and horrific situations faced by these societies. As a result, many selfless airline crew are deeply involved with a number of lesser-known charities and non-profit organisations around the world, dedicating their time and money toward helping the disadvantaged. Whether it be vulnerable children, migrant worker conditions, or perhaps animal cruelty, Hatrack Heroes! aims to raise awareness of these organisations, and give you an insight into their day to day lives. In this podcast we find out what these charities are doing, who they are, and how they are dealing with the issues faced. By listening, we hope these emotional and heartwarming stories will impact you in some way, even if it just makes you THINK!

An Oasis Of Hope

November 23, 2020 • Elle & Arthur / Mandy Morrow • Season 2 • Episode 8

The great Nobel Prize Laureate Kofi Annan once said “Literacy is a bridge from misery to hope", and this is a quote that our guest Mandy also believes in as she discusses the work she's done with the children of St. Nicholas School.
A small town on the coast of Ghana, and part of the bustling capital of Accra, Tema New Town is home to this school, and sadly to many underprivileged children.
The kind of life these children lead, is not something you'd ever wish for any child... but with the help of the the Tsakos Group, the school, it's teachers, and the many airline crew who regularly visit, these children can afford to feel positive about what the future might hold for them.
Crew like Mandy, who began the initiative of sponsoring the children, are extra special in the eyes of the children, but in turn (and probably more so), are extra special in the eyes of the crew.
This chat with Mandy is one that really shows how truly selfless Mandy is in helping others, and supporting others... it really is inspirational to be taking the initiative in giving children like the ones from St. Nicholas a hope for the future.
