KIM SANDARA
Advocacy Ambassador
​
"Legacies of War has shown me that a non-profit can really be warm, friendly and down to earth. When I approached them with my 270 Million Project, I thought they would be a lot more corporate with receiving the idea that I wanted to fundraise to help remove the bombs from Laos. Instead of crunching numbers and abusing my capacity to help, they welcomed my ideas with enthusiasm and great optimism. Legacies of War is where my Lao identity could finally intersect with my spirit of advocacy."​​
