Howard Childs is an educator who enthusiastically shares his knowledge with people from all walks of life whom he meets while traveling globally. He has been an English and photography instructor in Asia, providing over 700 students with books and cameras. He firmly believes in the power of education, and teaches both children and adults the art of photography and how to use pictures as a tool of self expression in keeping with their culture.

Howard recently visited the Sunflower orphanage in Vietnam and was deeply touched by the kindness of the children he met. He is guided by the unwavering belief that an individual can make a meaningful difference in the lives of others and knows firsthand that real action can have an impact.

He is immensely grateful for the joy and generosity he receives from the people he meets during his work travels, and finds it rewarding to give back to society in life.
