    Today's episode is the last of our charity specials. We sit down with Amber from MSF.

    Médecins Sans Frontières/Doctors Without Borders (MSF) is an international medical humanitarian organization that provides medical care to people affected by conflict, disease outbreaks, and other crises, regardless of race, religion, or political affiliation. MSF's mission is to relieve suffering, save lives, and reduce the spread of diseases where access to healthcare is limited. They operate in over 70 countries, delivering medical care to those in need, often in the most difficult and dangerous environments.

    On the episode we discuss their vital work. They often hit the headlines when there's an emergency such as an earthquake, war or disease outbreak.

    However, their teams are also running long-term medical programmes for vulnerable groups cut off from care, or speaking out about unseen suffering and the policies that cause it.

    Around the world, 365 days a year, they are there even when the cameras are not.

  • Travel Minded Charity Special: Aviation Without Borders UK

    We are joined by Junaid from Aviation Without Borders UK.

    Aviation Without Borders UK (AWB) is a humanitarian aviation charity established in 2006 and based in the UK. Affiliated with Aviation Sans Frontières International, AWB leverages aviation to provide aid and support both in the UK and internationally. The charity specializes in air cargo shipments of medical and essential supplies, aircraft operations for NGOs, and initiatives like Smiling Wings Days, offering children the experience of flight. AWB also runs educational programs like the "On Track Project" to inspire young people about aviation. Through these efforts, AWB uses aviation as a force for good, delivering aid and hope to those in need.

    When speaking to Junaid he said - Aviation has been a passion of mine since childhood, and I’ve been fortunate to turn that passion into a career in the business aviation sector. Alongside my love for aviation, I’ve always been driven by a desire to make a positive difference in the world. Aviation Without Borders (AWB) provides the perfect platform to combine both of these interests, allowing me to use aviation as a force for good. As the current Chair of AWB UK, I am committed to leading our efforts in delivering humanitarian aid and support to those who need it most, while inspiring others to join this meaningful cause.
