THE PURPOSE PROJECT

Feeling lost and searching for meaning after the sudden death of my younger sister, I looked to the world around me for answers. I was searching for a sense of purpose. Inspired by my sister’s brave and powerful life, I created The Purpose Project in her honor. The Purpose Project is an organization that seeks effective, dynamic individuals with a driving sense of purpose who, against all odds, are making positive changes in their corner of the world.

THAO

I came upon a photograph of Thao, a 25 year old Vietnamese woman born with severe life-threatening birth defects as a result of the defoliant Agent Orange. Despite her crippling physical deformities, Thao, I was told, created a library for the children of her village from found and donated materials. She dreams of one day expanding this library, allowing the less fortunate of her community to broaden their minds through the secret world of books. Haunted by the photograph of Thao, I had to meet this incredible person, so The Purpose Project set off to Vietnam with a small film crew to find her.

To find out more about what we found and how you can help Thao achieve her dream go to: www.thepurposeprojectfilm.com
