Friend Scott Coats has been busy over the past several months reviving PechaKucha in Bangkok and was kind enough to invite me to speak at the first two events that he organized.

PechaKucha presentations are in a format where you show 20 images, each for 20 seconds. The images advance automatically and the speaker talks along with the images. Below is the speech that I gave at the fifth Bangkok PechaKucha night about the Wheel2Wheel charity of another good friend, Morgan Parker.

From the Wheel2Wheel website:

The initial Wheel2Wheel adventure set off from Hong Kong on 1 March 2011 and saw Morgan Parker ride 25,000km through 10 countries to Brisbane, Australia.  Travelling with a film crew, he visited 10 extensively researched and carefully selected charitable organisations.  Each one tackling one of the continents’ most critical issues, doing it superbly but not receiving the systemic attention of the region’s philanthropic community.

I wanted to introduce the Bangkok community to the Wheel2Wheel charity, but more importantly, I wanted to challenge people to think about how they could impact the community in a positive way by engaging their passions to help people who are less fortunate.

Please watch the video below and see if you can identify a way to combine your passions with a way to contribute to a worthy cause:
