A week ago in my bubble of bliss, cut off from the news while busy at work... Within 24 hours it’s like life turned upside down. Now I’m halfway through my isolation period at home (even though I came straight from a zero case country - I don’t think I’ll ever let that one go!!) It’s just starting to sink in that so many epic plans are on hold and it’s difficult to accept for at least the next few months we won’t have the freedom to travel or just make decisions about how we want to live our lives, but there is always someone worse off. Let’s hope people can find it within themselves to be there for each other and that facts - not fear or panic - will inform their actions. We will get through this, and once we do it’ll be the greatest party 💕
Imagine seeing the graves of your parents destroyed, their bones unearthed and washed away because of sea level rise. That’s what happened to this family. Grandmother Mae Kosui had tears in her eyes because she tried to fight the waves for years but there was nothing she could do. This gravesite used to sit in the middle of an island, now it’s on the water’s edge. If this doesn’t convince you that #climatechangeisreal then I don’t know what will #solomonislands #work #video #journalist #graveyard #sealevelrise #climatechange #worldvision @worldvision
People in the Solomons are among the first in the world to see sunrise and sunset. Beginning our day ahead of the rest of the world ☀️ #solomonislands #pacific #work @klezergaspar
I’ve been getting my sea legs in North Malaita, where we go from place to place in boats #solomonislands #video #storyteller #work #worldvision
It took three flights, a bumpy drive and a boat ride to get to remote islands in East Malaita where @worldvision works. Interviewing kids and seeing their beautiful home has been a humbling experience. Still more work to do. Next stop, north @klezergaspar #solomonislands #pacific #climatecrisis #climateemergency #work #travel #humanitarian #filming🎬 #worldvision
Touching down in the Hapi Isles 🙌#solomonislands #pacific #work @worldvision
The views that make you stop for a second #Perth #sunset #visitwesternaustralia ☀️
I admire this girl’s courage to share her story when so many were too ashamed to speak. Also so grateful to @sbsnews_au for publishing my video from Angola about this hidden issue. #climatechange is causing drought and hunger, which is forcing girls to make impossible decisions to survive. #climatechangeisreal #southernafrica #videojournalist #drought #hunger @worldvision
Fires in some areas, giant hail in others. This has to be the craziest summer we’ve ever seen. #storm #melbourne #hail #thisisaustraliamate
