I’ve been wanting to share a lot more here about the people and stories I find truly fascinating and inspiring, and first on that list is someone very unique that I’d like to shine a spotlight on: Dwight Turner of In Search of Sanuk, who is working hard to help asylum-seeking urban refugees in Bangkok’s slums.

Dwight Turner runs InSearchOfSanuk.com, a community focused on making volunteering, microphilanthropy, and contributing to charitable causes easier for anyone in Thailand. Learn how I’m partnering with Dwight to promote fun events for good causes and make a difference in our region.
