This short video is a tribute to Khun Mechai Viravaidya, Thai social entrepreneur extraordinaire - in honor of his 70th birthday. Prevent Human Trafficking has enjoyed a 10 year relationship with this incredible man known first for his role in HIV/AIDS prevention when he earned the title, "The Condom King". Since 1974 Khun Mechai has created 8 primary organizations, programs and companies (with dozens of subsidiaries) with the aim of reducing poverty and many other social problems using innovative, out of the box solutions. He has been an invaluable mentor to me in the decade I have known him.

While this video cannot adequately thank him or capture his illustrious career in public service, it aims to highlight his most recent endeavors. For a full listing of Mechai's work please see his website: mechaifoundation.org
~ With admiration and respect for a one-of-a-kind world changer,
Christina Arnold, Founder of Prevent Human Trafficking.
