Reflecting on 2020
2020 was a year of extremes, extreme emotions, and extreme experiences. However, the Build for Better Initiative remained committed to deliver Stories of Hope from around the country. The passion, dedication, compassion and hard work is evident in every story that we have shared and will continue to share. We are honoured to be part of this great community of courage. We can all make a difference if we do what we can, where we are, with what we have.
