Thomas: Hi Spiffy! Travel is one of the most exciting things in the world to do. Sadly, it's not always easy, and sometimes not safe for some people—for example, LGBTQ+ people often face problems when they travel. The IGLTA Foundation works to make the world a safer place for LGBTQ+ people to explore.
Sonal: Thank you so much for having me, Spiffy! The American Heart Association mission is to advance education and access for all to ensure everyone lives a healthy life. Did you know that heart disease is the number one killer, while stroke is in second place? We are striving to change this by providing the resources for education, research, and knowledge to have a global impact in all. The goal is simple yet lofty—to have all live a healthy lifestyle for good heart health, which includes education of the need for healthy eating, exercise, finding solutions to limit tobacco at congress level, education on the value of good sleep, healthy living, checking your blood work, and knowing the disastrous impact when any of these activities are imbalanced.
Boaz: Thanks for having me, Spiffy! Humanity faces a threat that we all need to take action on urgently—the climate crisis. UNDP works everyday in more than 160 countries to address all of these issues. We are helping people adapt to climate change and finding ways to reduce carbon emissions. We are helping people who are suffering the effects of climate change now. But, as important as our own work is, it is equally important to encourage everyone to take action. There is still much hope if we all work together to solve this issue.
