In this episode, host Sean Riley sits down with Mat Mahboub, on behalf of Gary Mahboub, founder of Friends of the Fatherless, an international charitable organization which partners with and provides education to orphanage directors around the globe, encouraging them at an annual orphanage directors conference and supports their efforts to save these innocent and vulnerable children with no other foreseeable path to a stable home.

Mat has recently returned home from the Philippines where he spent time at two orphanages that his father’s organization partners with, and shares how he finally understood the difference that his father’s work abroad has been making on these children for many years.

The orphan crisis affects over 153,000,000 children worldwide and increases every day. Many challenges prevent children from being adopted whether it be disabilities, government restrictions, geographic  restrictions, and diseases like HIV/AIDs and other physical and mental conditions.

This interview dives into what lessons can be learned from those in poverty, what Mat has learned about the orphan crisis, what practical steps he takes to enhance his daily life, and a little bit about his personal side.
