Todd Finklestone on Responding to Disasters & Helping Orphaned Children

📍 Taipei, Taiwan. Todd works for two non-profits, both of which are tackling a complex problem in a new way. He spends most of his time leading the operations at OneTrack International where he coordinates efforts to support orphaned children across 10 countries. Instead of placing children directly into an institutional support system, they place them with biological family members or trusted members of the community. He is also a disaster relief responder at ShelterBox, which delivers the essential aid people need to begin rebuilding their lives in the aftermath of a disaster. He has been a first responder after earthquake and other disasters, which have shaped his understanding of the purpose of work. UN Sustainable Development Goals: 1 · No Poverty, 2 · Zero Hunger
