00:00Obviously, it's a big change from a city to like a regional town.
00:04So I try to find things to keep me busy.
00:07And one of these things was volunteering.
00:09When Santiago Suarez moved from Sydney to Wagga with his family four years ago,
00:14he chose to volunteer with Vinny's to get involved in his community.
00:19Volunteering was a good option for me.
00:22Since I didn't have many friends, I didn't know anyone in Wagga.
00:26In his volunteer role at the retail charity store,
00:30Mr. Suarez learned about the unique challenges refugees experience in regional Australia.
00:36In Sydney, I didn't interact.
00:38I didn't have many interactions with refugees.
00:40But here, obviously, because it's a regional town, it's a smaller place.
00:45You can see more refugees and you can see the struggles
00:48and what nonprofits like Vinny's do to help them.
00:52And I found that really interesting.
00:56So I'm looking for a three-sein-是什麼.
00:57I think it's a big change of view that's around the world.
00:57I hope you'll see people saying,
00:58I think there's a big change of view.
00:58And in the future,
00:58I'm looking for a little bit of view.
00:59You can see Rosago and have my friends.
