When the dark cloud of tragedy hung over countries with major catastrophes, Alice Chun, the co-founder of Solight-Designs, sought a way to bring light into the darkness. With a background in Architecture and Material Technology, Chun created a solar light that not only helps give light to those without electricity but with a variety of colors helps to combat PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder) in the recipients.
Listen in as I chat with Alice about what it is like to be a social entrepreneur. What it means, why she feels so passionate about her mission, and how she personally delivers 1000s of solar lights to victims of these natural and man-made disasters.
