She is most well known for her book The Startup Visa now in it's Third Edition! She is a native of Bangladesh, a US immigrant herself and is still acutely aware of the poverty gap and just how much our very small but highly specific help could potentially change lives far more than any other form of giving. Her passion for getting the Startup Visa done comes from a strong passion to support and create opportunities for "tech geniuses" to fulfill their potential including birthing a new generation that otherwise may not exist through our work

Hon Houen (Cambodia)
Phnom Penh Representative
Hon himself was once a student of one of the many NGO schools operating in Cambodia where he both learned English and basic computer skills. He retained his English from working at a hotel pre-Covid but all the years he spent not being able to save enough to afford a computer meant that he forgot nearly everything and has been unexposed to everything that's happened since Windows 7. He is living proof of the need for how we plan to help. Since Covid destroyed the hotel business he used to work for, he is now making ends meet via driving a tuk tuk and his dream is to turn that into an online tour business instead. This dream is why we are supporting him (already a rough version is live at https://www.anglocambodiatravel.com) and we will be helping each other going forwards.
