Since spending the first few years of her life in Papua New Guinea, she has always had an passion for people and alleviating poverty, but it wasn't until experiencing the heart-breaking realities of the Global Food Crisis in Cambodia earlier this year that 18 year old, Ashlee Randell, really got fired up about social justice. As World Vision's 2009 South Australian Youth Ambassador she has spent the year endeavouring to inspire young South Aussies to get involved with the 40 hour famine and use their gifts to make a difference in the world. Ashlee's passtimes include travelling, jamming and saving the world one Facebook status at a time.

"The Global Food Crisis is the "GFC" that robs not businessmen of their eight figure salaries, but men, women and children of their most basic need: food. We have the power to change this sad truth, the time for apathy has well and truly passed - let's get amongst it."
