The aim of Shaping Bright Futures is to build compassionate partnerships between families whose needs are consistently met and children in countries affected by conflict and widespread poverty. We are dedicated to bringing hope to these children through the provision of basic essentials such as education, life skills, nourishing food, and drinkable water. SBF harnesses the resources and generosity of families in developed nations and delivers these gifts of compassion to those who need them most. The work of SBF also empowers both the donors and recipients with the knowledge that thoughtful and caring actions can have a positive global impact.

The Paul Chester Children's Hope Foundation (PCCHF) is a registered 501(c)(3) charity that provides medical assistance to children and families in developing countries, giving them a chance to live productive lives through well-conceived medical interventions. We perform reconstructive surgery (i.e. club foot and cleft palate repair, burn scar revision, ear tubes, eye surgery, etc.) and work to arrest preventable, curable diseases (e.g. trachoma, glaucoma). The foundation provides highly specialized medical assistance to individuals and families in developing countries where such services are unavailable due to logistics or economic circumstances. The foundation harnesses the expertise of medical professionals and local agencies to identify opportunities for maximum social impact, and then funds and completes the medical or surgical interventions deemed most viable. The PCCHF core base is made up of volunteers - both medical and administrative, which vary from 50-200 in any given year. On the organizational side, the small group is made up of 5-7 dedicated individuals who meet regularly to discuss, plan and pilot missions. Our medical volunteers coordinate, and execute the missions with the assistance of logistics volunteers and in-country counterparts who have requested our assistance. A typical mission takes place over ten days with a team of medical professionals and organizers in collaboration with officials from the host country. The number of surgeries performed is directly linked to funding, number of volunteers and the capacity of the local hospital. For example, a 2003 mission to Ecuador resulted in 110 successful surgeries, with a team of 20 foreign medical volunteers. Safe passage for supplies and staff was provided by the consul general and the first lady of Ecuador. The medical procedures provided largely addressed disfiguring conditions that have a tremendously negative impact on the livelihood of the afflicted individual.

Building Futures Thailand does just that, it builds schools and libraries for kids who have never had the luxury of such essentials that most of us take for granted. Building Futures Thailand started in the aftermath of the tsunami that ravished many parts of Thailand and other countries in that region. Founder Kris Edwards asked herself how she could help. Visiting Phuket for the first time in 2007 as the happy homes’ first volunteer (an orphanage built in the aftermath of the tsunami to house children who lost their families), Kris decided that she could do more. Along with Linda Teel and Kathy Sebuck, in 2011 Kris founded the nonprofit Building Futures Thailand, Inc. Which focused on building libraries, playgrounds and providing financial support for orphanages and severely underfunded schools in the Phuket area. By 2014 our work in Phuket was complete but rather than stop there, we looked further within Thailand and found warm heart, located in Northern Thailand. By November 2014 we had constructed Barb’s Place (a large community education center and public access computer lab serving all of Phrao) which was named in memory of Kris’ mom, a dedicated educator. Barb’s Place offers the people of Phrao a public access computer lab, internet, first rate computer literacy and english courses, critical resources and educational opportunities. Every year Building Futures Thailand sends a group of volunteers (at the volunteers expense) to work with the local staff at facilities around Thailand to either build or renovate the community learning centers used by the children and other members of these impoverished communities. Since 2014, Building Futures Thailand has aligned with Warm Heart to offer both educational and local support. It is this support that helps build and fund technology development projects such as Barb's Place.
