Hands-On Philanthropy

摘要

Each day when I take my children to school in London, I remind myself how lucky we are. I grew up in a privileged environment, and I've been able to give my family the same.

Its programs combat HIV/AIDS in Africa, transform abusive orphanages in Eastern Europe and deliver quality education to children in the U.K. So far, ARK has raised $106 million for such projects.
