Empowering Women & Saving Elephants in Thailand: My week with Daughters Rising and Chai Lai Orchid in Chiang Mai, Thailand. I had the joy of spending a week volunteering with Daughters Rising, a non-profit based in Thailand focused on empowering at-risk girls to prevent human trafficking. In this episode I talk all about the mission of Daughters Rising, it's social business partner, Chai Lai Orchid, and introduce a few of my friends there. I touch on interviews conducted with Alexandra (the founder), Malida (staff), P Doh & P Por (local Karen women from the village), Kham Hom (a former scholarship recipient), and Win (DR staff & former scholarship recipient.

The full version of their interviews have been linked below.
