Ole-Jørgen Edna went to Thailand at the age of 20 with a one year commitment. Ending up with a family of more than 20 by the end of that year gave him to many reasons to stay. In this talk, Ole shares how his life turned around when he met three orphaned children who had fled from the Burmese army. He later went on to found the organisation Blessed Homes, which helps give children a safe home and a future of hope and possibilities.  http://www.tedxbkk.com/2012
