Categories:
Kal Dosanjh shares his transformative journey from a 24-year law enforcement officer to a community advocate, detailing his experiences in the challenging Downtown Eastside of Vancouver. Kal candidly describes his initial disillusionment with policing, which shifted drastically after impactful encounters with the youth and individuals facing addiction. Inspired by these interactions, he founded the Kids Play Foundation with just $500, aiming to provide free programs and foster community leadership among underprivileged children. Over the past seven years, the foundation has grown to serve over 100,000 kids across Canada and internationally, focusing on early childhood development and addressing critical issues like gang involvement and drug use. Kal underscores the importance of education and community awareness, sharing personal stories of transformation, and outlines the foundation's future plans, including the passed "Coming Together Gala." The episode encourages listeners to support the foundation through sponsorship, donations, or volunteer work.
