On this week's podcast I speak with Peter Baines OAM. Peter started his career as a police officer in the streets of Cabramatta in the late eighties. Becoming a specialist in forensic crime scene investigations, he was called upon to bring his skills to the Bali bombings in 2002. But it was the 2004 Boxing Day tsunami that forever changed the direction of his life.

In response to the needs of children were left without a home from the Tsunami in Thailand, Peter left his job as a forensic Police officer and founded the charity Hands Across The Water. Now 15 years on, Peter has raised over $20 million dollars to help disadvantaged children in Thailand.

Peter is now known as a global speaker, charity founder and business consultant. He imparts many lessons and his wisdom, kindness and charitable efforts are something everyone should take the time to listen to.
