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!

The Digital Divide

February 01, 2021 • Elle & Arthur / Dani Cardozo • Season 3 • Episode 8

The age of technology is upon us! Everywhere we go, everything we do just about involves us using some kind of technology to survive. Whether it be the supposed simplicity of sending an email, or the more intricate and perhaps vital tasks of online banking or shopping.

It seems, most of us in the Western world have grasped the change in the way we do things, and the majority take it for granted, and think that this is just the norm for everyone. But this is not the case, as we find out in this episode through our guest Dani, who took on the role of bridging the digital gap for migrants in Barcelona.

Through Dani's life experiences, he felt the need to get involved in the organisation that is Caritas, a worldwide Catholic NGO who are striving to end poverty, promote justice, and restore dignity for those most in need.
