Recently, Lumos has held a major event in the US. Lumos is a London-based organisation that for the past 13 years has worked very hard and gained increasing momentum to achieve global deinstitutionalisation. And now they have released a video that was taken at that event.
In the summer of 2017, I had the privilege of attending Lumos’ ‘Introduction to Deinstitutionalisation’. For four days I was able to exchange experiences and have discussions with a variety of representatives of major international organisations involved in child protection and of several government bodies from across the world. As well as increasing my knowledge and understanding of various details of how to make sure deinstitutionalisation is done responsibly.
Lumos is passionate and knowledgeable about many of the same things that I stand for and write and talk about. This is why I feel that this video provides the perfect opportunity to allow you to hear about it from someone else. Don’t take my word for it: listen to J.K. Rowling the founder and Georgette Mulheir the CEO of Lumos explaining to Whoopi Goldberg what is at stake.
The owner of the video does not allow it to be embedded by others. But you can click here to watch it on YouTube. Believe me, it is worth it.
