In this week’s KindnessCan podcast, Jane Linley-Thomas and Paul Bushell catch up with the Purpose Paddler, Stuart Geldart. The brave Durbanite is attempting to paddle the 2000 km from Kosi Bay to Cape Town to raise awareness and funds for Adopt-a-River.
In the podcast, Stuart shares some insight into how and why we need to be kinder to the environment, and especially our dams, rivers and seas.
He also talks sharks, the breathe-taking quietness of paddling alone, how to manage big thoughts, and what the personal journey means for him.

Meanwhile, in an earlier podcast Jane and Paul spoke with humanitarian legend, Dr Imtiaz Sooliman, founder of the Gift of the Givers. Dr Sooliman shared stories of the incredible humanity, kindness and hope he has found in the over 40 countries he has worked in.
Recipient of countless awards, the kind Doctor talks about his greatest rewards and what he does to relax and recharge.
He also talks about the recent Cape Town fires and how the community rallied to help UCT students who were affected. Click on the below link to Listen.
