Auckland Youth worker Luke Liederman

Luke shares his story of humble beginnings in South Africa, where he was found abandoned at birth in a basket. His new family brought him to New Zealand where upon finding out about his origins, turned to drugs, alcohol, and violence to mask the pain.  He now works for Springboard, an alternative education organisation that helps and mentors troubled youth, and shows them another path instead of the gang/ crime culture that is so prominent here in New Zealand.
