In Southeast Asia, Children Overcome All Odds

In March 2015, our Founders, Executive Director Lynn Wallace Naylor, and Board Member Maxine Martens, along with a small group of other dedicated supporters, traveled to Southeast “ Asia to visit two World of Children Honorees: Kenro Izu, who recently opened a new children’s hospital in Laos, and Benoît Duchâteau-Arminjon, who supports the needs of blind, deaf, and underprivileged children in Cambodia.

There, they met blind children who are eagerly learning to read; sick children who are healing in a clean, comfortable hospital; and so many others who are smiling brightly because of what the future now holds. All of this wouldn’t have been possible without your generous support.
