A chance interaction led a Queensland midwife to start a national movement with The Pyjama Foundation. The charity is based around a simple premise — 75% of kids in foster care won’t finish high school. Pyjama angels (volunteers) meet with kids once a week to read them stories and hang out. This helps encourage a love for learning and supports both the kids and their careers. Founder and CEO, Bronwyn Sheehan shares her inspirational story.

National Pyjama Day is July 21. Buy pyjamas: https://fundraise.thepyjamafoundation.com/shop
