Wide Horizons

In 2003, the Boston-based child-welfare agency Wide Horizons For Children began work in Ethiopia to help these orphans and to strengthen their surrounding communities.

Today, the agency's efforts in Ethiopia have two primary missions. One arm works at the individual level, sponsoring nearly 1,000 orphaned children to help them thrive in their hometowns. Orphan adoption services are provided as a last resort. The agency's other arm provides development projects closely coordinated with local communities. Here, Wide Horizons constructs schools, clean-water projects, and urgently needed health clinics.Wide Horizons For Children thanks all those who generously donated their time and services to create the video for our Ethiopian humanitarian aid program:

Right To Play-Trailer

He has won four Olympic gold medals, graced the cover of Time magazine and been honored as Sportsman of the Year by Sports Illustrated, yet if you say the name Johann Olav Koss in this country, you'll usually be met with a casual shrug. Instead of cashing in on his Olympic haul, Koss embarked on a remarkable journey that has established him as one of the world's greatest ambassadors of sports. As the founder, President and CEO of Right To Play, Koss and his army of volunteers, teachers, coaches and diplomats have used the power of athletics to elevate the lives of the world's neediest children. As it turns out, Frank Marshall, one of Hollywood's most acclaimed producers and a member of the U.S. Olympic Hall of Fame, witnessed in person Koss's triumphs on the ice at the 1994 Lillehammer Olympic Games. Now, as part of ESPN Films' 30for30 series, Marshall will reveal the epiphany that led Koss to work towards ensuring that every child has the Right To Play.
