Episode description

AJ Roberts is a 15 year British forces veteran who’s toured Iraq and Afghanistan. He is a distinguished leader having lead his men through the darkest of times. He also lived in Australia for nearly 3yrs. He worked his butt off and bought his own house within 3 yrs.   Unfortunately during this time his best friend killed himself, as did 3 other friends. All serving soldiers. He uses all his bad experiences as strengths in coaching others. In January 2020 AJ traveled to war-torn Sierra Leone to help hundreds of blood diamond amputees, all who were brutally butchered by terrorism and greed.   While there are many victims of the war, those whose limbs were brutally cut off by war rebels are of particular interest to me and sadly many of them were just infants and toddlers at the time. There are thousands of children born to war amputees; some of them who are now orphans are unable to go to school or get quality education because their parents are no more or simply can’t afford to educate them.
