Remote Child Mentoring (2017)

In 2017, we began mentoring prospective children internationally, providing them with guidance to pursue non-traditional careers such as professional outdoor athletics. One such child, Tejson Kunwar, has since become a sponsored national rider and appeared on television, in magazines and newspapers, and public events.

Presently, Milosz continues to mentor children in multiple countries as Covid-19 restrictions prevent these children from attending school.

Milosz Pierwola, Esq., President
Milosz started his career as an international humanitarian attorney, working in South Africa, London, and ultimately New York City.

As the programs Milosz worked with and founded accumulated, it became clear that the next step was formalizing this life work into a foundation that had the capacity to support these and many more projects in the future.
