Brett Pierce

Brett Pierce works in overseas aid which has taken him to over seventy countries. His work has been instrumental in adapting and remodelling child sponsorship to empower local community-led care and protection and child participation, currently rolling out to over 4.3 million children and their communities globally. When he is not travelling, his home is on the Mornington Peninsula in Australia. He is an author and also enjoys harp-building and the brewing of fine ales. The last few years have finally delivered more time to become lost and found in beauty through painting in oils.
