The 20,000 Penguin Rescue and the Power We Have to Make a Difference – Dyan deNapoli – S5 E14 (89)

Dyan deNapoli — aka The Penguin Lady — shares the heart-wrenching story of her involvement in the world’s largest and most successful animal rescue, where 25,000 volunteers tended to 20,000 traumatised penguins affected by an oil spill. The outcome was miraculous on so many levels, leaving lifelong memories and faith in humanity — who demonstrated resilience, community, courage, possibility and the extraordinary things we can achieve when we come together. When a feat feels foreboding — remember anything is feasible when you focus your faith on a favourable future.   Dyan’s website: https://thepenguinlady.com Email: [dyan@thepenguinlady.com](mailto:dyan@thepenguinlady.com) Dyan’s Books: The Great Penguin Rescue All About Penguins: Discover Life on Land and in the Sea   Dyan's favourite book: '21 Yaks and a Speedo' by Lewis Pugh Dyan’s favourite quotes: *“Be the change you wish to see in the world.”* – Ghandi *“ Life is either a daring adventure or nothing at all."* Helen Keller *”It's never too late to be what you might have been."* George Elliott *“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
