"Light gives safety, light gives hope, and I can see why children see the magic in it."

Alice Min Soo Chun is a humanitarian entrepreneur whose journey began with a simple yet profound idea: light can change lives. From creating origami-inspired solar lights to distributing them in disaster-stricken areas and war zones, Alice’s work has impacted vulnerable communities worldwide. Her innovations were featured on Netflix's Gutsy by Hillary and Chelsea Clinton, showcasing her relentless drive to make a difference.

In this episode, Alice shares:

The impact of light in preventing violence and providing hope in war zones and disaster areas
Bringing solar lights to Haiti after the earthquake, and the ripple effects it had globally
How small steps and a relentless drive to serve have led to global recognition
The power of beauty, wonder, and awe in igniting hope

Alice’s story is one of perseverance, innovation, and creating change through hope.
