do with the efforts of Apple’s Brian O’Leary, who helps to coordinate Apple events at the Field of Dreams. “During the pandemic, the site became a little unkempt — the weeds don’t stop growing,” says Debbie Kelleher, the Field of Dreams care coordinator. “But Brian came out after the restrictions were lifted and said that the Apple teams were very keen to help out more regularly. We now have Apple volunteers here almost every Friday — we call them Apple Fridays.” “When people volunteer at the Field of Dreams, they walk away feeling they’ve made an impact, and that’s what makes us all come back,” says O’Leary, who is already planning next year’s visits. “This organization is making a real difference in the lives of the people it’s serving, and to play even a small role in that means a great deal.” In sub-Saharan Africa, Apple continues its 16-year partnership with the Global Fund through the (PRODUCT)RED campaign, which has raised more than a quarter of a billion dollars to help in the fight to end AIDS. Those efforts support dozens of organizations across the region, including the Zanzibar Association for People with HIV/AIDS (ZAPHA+), which has cared for thousands of children living with HIV through counseling and support groups. That includes Miriam, who joined ZAPHA+ after she found out she was HIV positive as a teenager. The organization inspired her to become a community health worker, and she is now married with a child who is HIV negative thanks to antiretroviral treatment. Among its community engagements in Australia, this year Apple expanded its Racial Equity and Justice Initiative to the country. The initiative supports a variety of organizations advancing equity in the country’s Indigenous community, including ID. Know Yourself. Founded by Isaiah Dawe in 2019, the nonprofit helps support and mentor young members of the Aboriginal community who are in foster or out-of-home care. “I always say our purpose is founded by wounds, because I have grown up exactly like the kids we work with — and there are more than 20,000 Aboriginal kids in out-of-home care in Australia,” says Dawe, a Butchulla and Gawara Salt Water man who was in the Australian foster care system from infancy to when he turned 18. “At ID. Know Yourself, we create love, hope, and belonging so that every child can have self-determination and fulfillment in their life. We’ve been working with Apple for a few years now, and it’s amazing to see our kids express themselves in creative sessions that draw on their Aboriginal heritage and culture — they feel empowered because they’re connecting with their past and learning skills they need for their future.” Miriam joined ZAPHA+ — an organization that receives funding through the Global Fund’s partnership with (RED) — when she was diagnosed with HIV as a young woman. ID. Know Yourself is one of a number of organizations that received grant support through Apple’s REJI expansion in Australia. It was founded by Isaiah Dawe to help young members of Australia’s Aboriginal community find support and a sense of belonging.
