One Night in a Manila Slum Sparked a Global Movement

  • サマリー

  • When Hugh Evans was 14, he spent one night in a Manila slum as part of a school trip.

    Surrounded by crawling cockroaches and rancid garbage, he tossed and turned while his host, a local boy, slept soundly. Hugh realized the only reason the boy slept there, and not in his comfortable Melbourne home, was a lottery of fate. Hugh made a vow to himself that night - he would dedicate his life to eradicating extreme poverty. As the co-founder and CEO of Global Citizen, Hugh is spearheading a movement to overcome poverty via actions, not charity. In this episode of Out of Office, he explains how Global Citizen operates, the difference it's making, and why celebrities from Chris Martin to Beyonce to Miley Cyrus are supporters.
