with guest Allison Alley, Compassion Canada
It’s difficult to keep caring. How can we remain compassionate in light of so much hardship?
Allison Alley is the President and CEO of Compassion Canada, a global development organization that exists to permanently end childhood poverty in all its forms. In this episode, Allison shares about the unexpected dimensions of poverty, the vulnerability of children, the devastating effects of COVID-19 on children on the margins, and how we can help. Allison challenges us to shine a light, wherever we’re planted, and wake up to the “poverty of the wealthy” in our own lives.
Allison holds a Master of Arts in Global Leadership with an emphasis in International Development and Urban Studies from Fuller Theological Seminary and a Master of Business Administration from Ivey Business School. Allison and her husband live in London, Ontario and have two daughters.
