What do a man growing a moustache during November, a young woman studying to be a doctor in India and the former Prime Minister of Australia have in common?

They�鶹APP�re all change-makers �鶹APP� people willing to go the extra mile to help others. And they all feature in the latest episode of Better Angels, the podcast series presented by �鶹APP President Sarah Brown.

Episode 5 sees Sarah examine the subject of people getting involved and making a difference in the lives of others. She says: �鶹APP�There�鶹APP�s a special kind of activism which aims to encourages people not just to donate or support from afar �鶹APP� but to get involved.�鶹APP�

Her guests include Adam Garone, co-founder of the worldwide ; Taha Fathima Khan, a  for �鶹APP from India; and Julia Gillard, ex-politician and now head of the .

Adam tells how he co-founded the Movember movement, which began in his native Australia and has spread to other parts of the world. What started in 2003 as a personal challenge among his friends to see if they could grow a �鶹APP�mo�鶹APP� became a bigger challenge of how they could use �鶹APP�the power of the conversation around their moustaches�鶹APP�.

�鶹APP�We were inspired by the women around us and what they were doing with breast cancer,�鶹APP� says Adam. �鶹APP�We thought: there�鶹APP�s nothing for men�鶹APP�s health.�鶹APP�

Movember is now a worldwide campaign every November, with men growing moustaches to raise awareness of men�鶹APP�s physical and mental health issues. The money raised has funded more than 1200 projects in 21 countries

Adam adds: �鶹APP�What made us persist was that it sparked something within us. 

�鶹APP�When you start serving other people it brings such a deeper sense of fulfilment.�鶹APP�

In this episode of Better Angels, Sarah also talks to Global Youth Ambassador Taha, who tells how she was moved to action by the plight of a five-year-old girl who went missing on a beach in India.

Taha says: �鶹APP�The police refused to take action, saying the girl would come back.�鶹APP� That shocked her into action and she prompted the media into picking up the story.

The girl was eventually found and Taha set up an organisation called the to put the spotlight on child rights issues.

�鶹APP�I realised I could help so many other children,�鶹APP� she says. Taha continues to combine running the project with her medical studies and her work with �鶹APP.

Julia Gillard tells Sarah: �鶹APP�After I�鶹APP�d left politics, I spent some time reflecting. When I looked back on my life, it became clear to me that a continuing thread was involvement in education.�鶹APP�

The Global Partnership for Education works in 65 of the world�鶹APP�s countries and Julia admits that �鶹APP�there�鶹APP�s a real sense of delight in it but also the weight of the responsibility�鶹APP�.

Sarah also chats to Theo Sowa, CEO of the Rachel Whale, founder of ; and author and activist Katherine Schwarzenegger.
