http://www.facebook.com/LegalZoom Starting a Charity was easy with LegalZoom’s help. Time to brush your teeth! is a phrase the majority of us take for granted. For most children, brushing their teeth is part of a daily routine. However, while traveling recently through impoverished regions of Vietnam and Cambodia, we found that basic dental needs are not being met. I knew that starting a non-profit, charity organization was a good way to help. We visited many orphanages and childrens organizations and realized that thousands have never seen a dentist. Many don’t even know what a toothbrush or toothpaste is. These are basic necessities that every child deserves. We recently used LegalZoom to quickly incorporate Project Healthy Smile. Our mission is to provide oral health education and dental supplies to underprivileged children globally. Our video shows images of children in need and our first successful mission in Vietnam. LegalZoom helped us start our charity now, would you please help us with your votes to continue saving smiles worldwide. | LegalZoom Customer Story Contest

Former Microsoft executive John Wood discusses hand-delivering a load of donated books to a rural village in Nepal, an experience that inspired him to quit his job and start the international non-profit organization “Room to Read.”

—–

John Wood discusses “Leaving Microsoft to Change the World: An Entrepreneur’s Odyssey to Educate the World’s Children”

In 1998, John Wood was a rising executive at Microsoft when he took a vacation that changed his life. What started as a trekking holiday in Nepal became a spiritual journey, and then a mission: to change the world one book and one child at a time. So upon returning from holiday, John did what most of us can only dream of doing: he walked away from millions to do “more”. Over the next five years he would make the unlikely marriage between Microsoft business practices and the world of non-profits to create Room to Read, an organization that has created a network of over 2,000 schools and libraries (with over one million books) throughout communities in Southeast Asia and India.
