In this episode, we chat to Salvation Army social policy analyst Ronji Tanielu about the impact of harmful gambling on Kiwis, how companies prey on vulnerable communities and what The Salvation Army is doing to combat this.
 
ABOUT RONJI:
After spending several years overseas as a self-funded Christian missionary (along with his wife Rabena), Ronji returned to Aotearoa in 2017. He works in our Social Policy and Parliamentary Unit, trying to be as positively disruptive in his advocacy to government and stakeholders as possible.

Season 2 coming soon! 

Sleeves Rolled Up is a podcast produced by The Salvation Army New Zealand, Fiji, Tonga and Samoa.  
 
While you may know The Salvation Army for our op shops or handing out food parcels, what you might not know is that we’re involved in so much more. Our strong social justice focus informs our work, work such as reintegrating people back into society after they are released from prison, building social housing communities, supporting people experiencing homelessness, advocating for social change at government level, releasing research papers about social issues, giving people a hand up through our wraparound services and so much more! 
 
We hope you enjoy listening to these interviews with our guests who are determined to see people’s lives transformed through their respective roles within The Salvation Army.
