I was interviewed on the Coronacast podcast by Josh VanKooten. Here is his summary: "In this episode, I speak with DonorSee Charity’s Founder and CEO Gret Glyer to discuss the impact that government lockdowns have had on the impoverished population of Africa. Gret explains why the poorest class of people in Africa, who live on less than $3 a day, have been severely impacted by the lockdowns and why they need them lifted now. Gret also explains how he became so passionate about this issue and why it led him to start his charity DonorSee."

At age 12, Jacob Aluong found himself running away from an army that was trying to kill him. His family hid in a dense forest but many of them didn’t make it. He told me, “all my life, all I have known is war. I just want peace.” Jacob is here in America for the first time to attend a peace conference in D.C. I sat down with him and a couple cameras to record his story. DonorSee has been partnering with Jacob’s peace efforts for over a year in South Sudan.
