SOBRE ESTE EPISÓDIO
Welcome to Mindshift, a podcast by the Homecoming project that exists to equip and empower you to advocate on behalf of vulnerable children around the world.
In this episode, join host Krish Kandiah for an inspiring conversation with Nayomi Silva and Sohani Fernando about the brilliant work they are doing to bring about care reform in Sri Lanka. In this conversation, they talk about their vision and heart to see the Church rise up to care for vulnerable children through alternative care such as adoption, fostering, and kinship care. They emphasise that a mindshift is needed within the Church to think about family as more than a biological institute. Krish, Nayomi, and Sohani also discuss the importance of raising up children to advocate on behalf of other children. We hope you feel inspired and challenged by this interview.
