Our origins:  I, the founding director, am a researcher and a public health physician with a passion to “give back.” I visited Tanzania as a college student in 1982. There, I learned millions of children were dying from chloroquine-resistant malaria that originated in Cambodia. I spent a career in the US Army developing solutions for malaria. After 22 years, I retired and returned to SE Asia to stop the new multidrug-resistant strains again threatening Africa. While in Cambodia and Vietnam, I observed new neglected threats to children.  Big ones are excessive screen time and air pollution.
