Hi there, my name is Ben! Global issues continue to captivate me as their consequences have, and continue to devastate the lives of an unimaginable amount of people around the world every single day. Behind every single statistic, figure, budget cut and graph is an altered life which is not so different from yours or mine. Therefore, it is undoubtedly the responsibility of those who have the influence and the money which fuels it look beyond the narrow borders of ones own nation in order to build up the lives for those who are unable to do it themselves.
