Karolina Lindholm Billing was posted to Ukraine less than a year before the full-scale Russian invasion. As the UNHCR Representative in the country, she draws hope from witnessing the power of community volunteer networks in supporting displaced people in their hour of need. “Volunteers from all areas of society have helped people who have been directly impacted by the war. They're cooking meals, giving clothing, giving money, opening their homes.” War has forced around one-third of Ukrainians from their homes, in what is currently one of the world's largest human displacement crises. UNHCR is assisting them with temporary housing, cash, and legal assistance. In this episode, Karolina Lindholm Billing reflects on Ukrainian resilience, the drive to rebuild, and why people long to stay in their own homes, even in a war zone.

In 1992 Pope John Paul II beatified just 17 individuals out of nearly 460 whose names were put forward as dying for the faith during the religious and political upheavals of 16th and 17th century Ireland. So what made these individuals stand out from the rest during this period? Former President of Ireland, Dr Mary McAleese chats to Edward Stourton about the stories she uncovered in her new book ‘The 17 Irish Martyrs'. 50 years ago, Idi Amin, then President of Uganda, ordered the expulsion of his country's Asian minority. Around 60,000 individuals were given just 90 days to leave. Many went to Canada, India, Kenya or Pakistan. Around 28,000 came to the UK. The majority settled in Leicester where a new exhibition ‘Rebuilding Lives' has just opened at the Museum and Art Gallery. Edward speaks to Nisha Popat, the exhibition's project leader and Mina Patel who has a personal family connection to one of the exhibits on display. Krishna Das, formerly known as Jeffery Kagel, is a Grammy-nominated vocalist who performs Indian devotional singing known as Kirtan. He took time out during the UK leg of his European tour to tell us how his spiritual journey began. As the Conservative Leadership contest enters the final stages, the majority of talk has been around tax and the cost of living. But what about religion, could that also play a role in deciding who our next Prime Minister will be? Edward discusses the contenders with Tim Montgomerie, Co-founder of the Conservative Christian Fellowship and Creator of Conservativehome.com and Dr. Ekaterina Kolpinskaya, from the University of Exeter who is researching religion and the voting habits of Conservatives.

We had to sell everything… it was tough, I was homesick for sure.”“I came here at 19; I've left all my childhood, my friends, my extended family (behind).  It is like starting over with one suitcase and my mom had probably $200 for the entire family.”On her Social Media start: “I had so much pressure for someone who is supporting herself, I thought of ways and ideas to be able to make side income.  I definitely went the influencer route. It all started out with my passion which has always been supporting women in STEM, specifically women of color. ” “As women in STEM, it's difficult out there. We're not noticed.  We're not recognized. Specifically engineers.”On being the one or the only:  “Every day you will experience microaggressions.  Best way to deal with it to understand how to advocate for yourself” On Imposter Syndrome:  “Coming from no opportunities to opportunities, you are like ‘ok, it's real; it's happening.  I am somebody.  I am an engineer.' Do they trust me to do the job?”On her immigrant mental health program:  “With immigrants, the topic of mental health has such a stigma. My goal is to normalize mental health for immigrants.”

Background Since 2015, Homes of Hope has allowed Rettew Creative to help capture and create stories for their yearly fundraising gala in May of each year. Each year, we produced three video stories to be shown to a live audience with the sole purpose of sharing their story for fundraising. Each year, they raise more and more money to serve their mission and vision: "Provide opportunities for generational change throughout South Carolina. We do this in two ways, Rebuilding Communities and Rebuilding Lives." Men's Development- The Men’s Workforce Development Program is a voluntary one-year residential job training and mentoring program for men overcoming drug and alcohol addictions. The interns live and learn at Gideon’s House, a historical home in downtown Greenville, SC. Men are equipped with construction-related job skills through classroom training and through the actual construction of our LoCAL Homes. Each participant graduates with a certification in Basic Residential Construction (BRC) through Greenville Technical College's Quick Jobs program. Affordable Housing - The goal is to provide safe, affordable, and energy-efficient housing for low-to-moderate income families and/or individuals. Families without a safe place to call home lack an essential element that must exist. Through our four housing strategies, we aim to meet the housing needs of South Carolina families. Goal of Project At the beginning of 2020, we once again partner to tell three stories for their gala only to re-vision how to deliver these stories. In April of 2020, Homes of Hope made the decision to post-pone their May event because of the COVID-19 Global Pandemic. As the event was postponed to Jun 18th in the hopes to have an in-person event, the decision was made to go completely virtual.  Rettew Creative was asked to partner with Homes of Hope to re-imagine this event for a virtual experience. We then began to work with Homes of Hope to create a virtual gala to be delivered at 6pm on June 18th as a Facebook Premiere event. Facebook Premieres allows a branded page to schedule and debut videos as Live moments. After the broadcast, the video will be saved on your Page. A Premiere has to be scheduled at least 10 minutes in advance.  Production We have helped numerous large, medium, and small organizations to Live Stream events; yet this approach allowed our team to create pre-produce a 30 minute virtual gala "show". This "show" would be uploaded a few days before the Facebook Premiere alerting the fans on their brand page to be notified of this event and allows Homes of Hope to promote the event for a specific time and event. Once the Facebook Premiere video goes live, it appears like a live stream allowing people to interact with this video the same way they would with a live video stream.  We worked with Homes of Hope to plan a 30 minute show production the included the 3 videos we originally pre-produced for the live event. These three video stories included: Introduction to Homes of Hope: https://youtu.be/pWu4oTNGonE Men's Development: https://youtu.be/z5q72cFd5yo Affordable Housing Client: https://youtu.be/xiirMvf-bfA These videos were showcased in the 30 minute show, produced to walk the audience through the whole vision of Homes of Hope. This 30 minute show featured an Emcee who guided the show through the Homes of Hope Training Facility, an actual home they have built where two of the staff members gave an update on their programs, and a final "call to action" by the CEO asking people to give to the organization.  Podcast Episode This podcast episode looks back at the production to create this virtual gala and how Rettew Creative partnered with Homes of Hope in-order to bring this vision to life in less than a month.

A childhood shaped by one of the most cruel rebel groups in history. Rape, killings and an abducted brother who was never found. If these defined decades of your life, the last thing you would want to talk about is peace — unless you are Victor Ochen. Our first episode takes us to Uganda, which has been plagued by civil unrest and rebellion since the 1980s. We dive into Victor's life, a young man, wise beyond his years, who refused to be enlisted as a child soldier. Growing up in between refugee camps, Victor was forced to confront his inner demons for survival, and won. Victor was hailed a hero for peace in his country, becoming the youngest ever African nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize in 2015.

The Old Testament comes to an end with three building projects: (1) The rebuilding of the temple under the leadership of Zerubabbel; (2) the rebuilding of the city walls of Jerusalem under the leadership of Nehemiah; and (3) the rebuilding of the lives of God’s people. In our story today, near the end of the Old Testament scriptures, the people gather together and Ezra reads to them the Law of Moses as a spiritual exercise to refocus and remind Israel of what is truly important. That is we prayerfully hope has happened to each one of us as we have followed along in The Story; to help us refocus, remind and rebuild our lives what is most foundational: God’s Upper Story.
