Welcome to Season 1 of the ThinkOrphan Podcast! In this inaugural season we hope to open up an honest dialogue around the global orphan crisis. Each week, Phil and I, Kelly, will discuss the hot topics and difficult issues with the leading voices in orphan care, such as Jedd Medifind, Peter Greer and Rick Morton. From poverty alleviation to family strengthening, to best practices in caring for orphaned and abandoned children, to human trafficking and mentoring, We will work with you to navigate the issues that affect millions of children and families all over the world.
