Wang Leehom visits his 10 adopted Children in Laos

Not only is Laos one of the most impoverished areas in Asia, but also one of the most bombed regions in the world. Many children without parents barely survive off the protein of bugs they find. Children with parents face an additional dilemma, many parents want their children to have a better life, but are afraid that foreigners will come and adopt their children. Therefore, Leehom among many others, are indirectly "adopting" the children by sponsoring them.

Wang Lee Hom is currently World Vision's Ambassador for Taiwan. He believes that each person is capable of a small change for the better, and therefore everyone has the ability to do the right thing. If each of us were to make a small change we would all have the power to change the world, whether it be in environmental conservation or philanthropic charity work. Hence the name of his most recent album "Change Me."

Leehom gets only 1 week off from work, and usually he spends this week during Thanksgiving with his family. It is his only opportunity to see his family in the United States throughout the year. However this year, Leehom gave a different kind of thanks. He went to Laos with World Vision to meet the 10 children he's "adopted".

Since the launch of this campaign to bring more awareness to the poverty in Laos less than a month ago, over 4500 people in Taiwan have signed up to sponsor a child. This project continues to garner more attention around the world.

You too can sponsor a child too at www.Worldvision.org

Song is "They are All our Children" by David Tao and Sandy Lin. There's also an English version by Josh Groban, Celine Dion, Nick Carter, Enrique, etc.

Does anybody knows if he still writes journal entries now? If so, may I know where to read it?

[oleanderx]

@choc0pie28 sadly he doesn't have time to do so anymore :(

[Riverweed]

he is one of the very well brought up guys - talented yet humble, loving and sensible.

After watching this a second (well more than that actually) time, I REALLY think he's WAY above all most artistes who 'do charity'. Well, speak charity. He actually really put in his best effort to make the world a better place rather than do it as a hobby-like thing. He does it even when he isn't free. He gave up visiting his family (once a year, for god's sake) and went to see his 'children'.

Thank you Leehom :)
