Philanthropy - Marietta, Georgia, United States
In June 2011, Tim Bradley (Founder and CEO of Feed Starving People) set off on a journey to Southeast Asia. He left the US with no timeline and no itinerary, but a deep desire to witness and experience a different world, leaving the anchors of comfort behind. However, he discovered that although his surroundings changed, and cultures differed, the people did not. The same needs, fears, and desires reside in all of us, no matter who we are or where we are in this world. Making his way through Southeast Asia, Tim looked into the beautiful, but disadvantaged eyes of so many people and his purpose became clear. This trip was meant to be an expression of gratitude for the life Tim have been afforded, and it was now time for him to give back. In July 2012, Tim's journey was coming to an end in one of the poorest countries in the world, Cambodia. This was Tim's opportunity to discover the heart of his journey. It began as a self-run mission that Tim called "Feed Hungry Cambodians". The original idea was to purchase groceries with his own money and bring them to the poorest villages outside of Siem Reap, Cambodia. It was meant to be a small expression of service to those less fortunate, but after by voicing his mission via Facebook, it escalated to approximately $1500 in donations. For five consecutive days, Tim spent days and nights planning the logistics of how to best spend and distribute, what is a small fortune in Cambodia. In the end, Tim was able to feed over a thousand people. Not only could Tim provide groceries for entire poor villages but he had the special privilege of taking families and whole villages to local restaurants and feeding everyone. Feed starving people was born!
