Keeping Families Together, a short film for One Sky Foundation – Thailand 2016

In December 2015 I traveled to Sangkhlaburi, in Thailand, where I had the honor to join One Sky Foundation, a local NGO working to meet the needs of vulnerable children.

Sangkhlaburi, on the Thai Burma border, is not a big town, but more than 600 children are living in 17 children’s homes, away from the love and care of their families. None of the homes are legally registered.

In 2015, Social Services and One Sky Foundation interviewed all of the children, to find out that 90% of them have at least one living parent.

Most of the children told us that they live in the children’s home because their parents are poor.

We believe this is wrong

Starkey Hearing Foundation PSA

Only one out of every five people who could benefit from a hearing aid actually wear one (The National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders). By giving a donation to the Starkey Hearing Foundation, you’re giving someone else a chance to hear the world.
Starkey Hearing Foundation has operated in rural areas all over the world and has made significant strides to provide alternative hearing solutions for those who cannot afford, or even acquire it.
