During a vacation trip to Cambodia in 1994, we fell in love with the country and its people. But we were especially touched by the impact on children in areas still controlled by the Khmer Rouge, almost twenty years after "Year Zero". Education and health care were rudimentary.
In 1999 we were lucky enough to find a way to help, via a school building and teacher training program started by Save the Children. From the early pilots, this is now a vibrant program covering hundreds of schools and thousands of children.
Our personal journey led us to other countries, meeting hundreds of children, many of whom are pictured in this book. We are pleased to donate proceeds of this book to Save the Children.
I like to travel. Paint and write, still live in the 60's maybe, but my wife and I (and the kids) try to do something about the people of this world that aren't as lucky as us.
Now a consultant - was a regional CEO, having spent over 30 years working in Europe, the USA and across Asia Pacific. Have been a Board Trustee of Save the Children (USA) for past 6 years.
Asia is our family "spiritual" home, although we now live back in Europe.
