Change Happens with Alice Chun - episode 58

"Light gives safety, light gives hope, and I can see why children see the magic in it."

Alice Min Soo Chun is a humanitarian entrepreneur whose journey began with a simple yet profound idea: light can change lives. From creating origami-inspired solar lights to distributing them in disaster-stricken areas and war zones, Alice’s work has impacted vulnerable communities worldwide.

In this episode, Alice shares:

• The impact of light in preventing violence and providing hope in war zones and disaster areas
• Bringing solar lights to Haiti after the earthquake, and the ripple effects it had globally
