This year, Friends Without A Border welcomed celebrated cellist, humanitarian, and United Nations Messenger of Peace, Yo-Yo Ma as their Goodwill Ambassador.

The mission of Friends Without A Border (FWAB) is to provide high quality health care to the children of Southeast Asia by creating community health education programs including the training of local healthcare professionals. FWAB was founded in 1996 by world renowned photographer Kenro Izu after he witnessed the suffering of Cambodia’s children during a trip to photograph the Angkor monuments. Since then, FWAB founded the Angkor Hospital for Children, in Siem Reap, Cambodia, which opened in 1999, and has treated more than 1.5 million children to date. Last year saw the doors open to their second hospital, the Laos Friends Hospital for Children in Luang Prabang, Laos. FWAB is the proud recipient of the Nobel Prize for Children’s Advocacy.
