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.

In this mini-episode of How Are You Helping, Host Sean Riley breaks down his “Five Key Lessons on Service” and what led up to the founding of a for-purpose podcast that highlights generosity, contribution, and inspiration.

In this episode, you’ll discover the greatest piece of advice he’s received, why everyone should take control of their own transformation, and how getting everything you want can feel empty and meaningless without service, philanthropy and giving back to others.

In this episode, Rachael Roland shares her journey of founding her non-profit: BeLOVEd Beauty, a charitable organization which helps at-risk women (girls in the foster system and sex trafficking survivors) recover from past wounds and transition into sustainable jobs in the beauty industry.

Rachael describes her post-college years in which she flew from the U.S. to Thailand and Cambodia to do work abroad where she was gripped by the reality of sex trafficking. When she returned to the U.S., she knew she had to start BeLOVEd Beauty. Having worked in the cosmetology industry, she wanted to share her passion for beauty and make up with women who have been through the most severe circumstances.

We discuss her work, the ups and downs of her journey, her faith, her volunteer work and why it inspires her, and a little bit about her personal side (Rachael went to school for Film/Television). Could this be the answer to sex trafficking? There’s more work to do, but we can guarantee that we’re a lot stronger in this fight with Rachael on our side.
