For Episode 4 of On The Table we are joined by Peter Baynard-Smith (Global Programs Lead, Hagar International) and Giang Thi Thu Thuy (Executive Director, Hagar Vietnam) in a interview that brought together NZ, Australia and Vietnam!

Peter and Thuy shared their background and their work with Hagar, with some powerful stories from Vietnam. For nearly 30 years, Hagar has worked with those affected by the trauma of trafficking, slavery and abuse. This is about “The Whole Journey”. An uplifting conversation with a special organisation about their important work. 

And you know where to get the tasty wine that makes a difference? 100% of profits from 27 Seconds wine goes to Hagar, building upon the personal connection Alanna has with the Hagar whānau.

In Episode 1 of On The Table we share who we are, why we’re having this conversation and the story of 27 Seconds. We then turn our attention to defining and unpacking ‘Modern Slavery’.

While we’ve called this ‘Starting at the Top’ it is more than a 101 on modern slavery. This episode covers off some of the key things we think you need to know, while also acknowledging the complexity of an issue like this. 

We found ourselves rethinking too…and hope you enjoy the conversation.
