MEET SARUN Creator of secondNATUREstudios Sarun Chan is a Cambodian American community member and advocate from Philadelphia, PA. He was born in a refugee camp in Thailand during the aftermath of the Cambodian genocide led by Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge regime. Raised in low-income neighborhoods throughout South Philadelphia, Sarun has an innate reflective nature on the American, Immigrant, and Refugee Experiences. From witnessing, experiencing, and living his life in poverty... stricken neighborhoods, it has inspired him to further his life’s work to help bring visibility to the under-represented and bridge resource gaps to improve the quality of life for the under-served. Through personal and professional cultivation, Sarun continues to make an impact through direct services, program development, and advocacy on various social issues and disparities including education, health, and community development. Sarun has worked directly with Southeast Asian immigrant & refugee communities and advocated for the disaggregation of data collection nationally through his work with various local non-profit organizations. He has worked with African-American and Latino communities in Southwest, West, and Northeast Philadelphia through truancy and truancy prevention services in over 34 Philadelphia public schools. During this time, he outreached and educated hundreds of families and school staff on truancy and regional court process. Sarun helped create and execute successful inter-generational and multicultural projects including The Legacy Project, Teens Organizing Proactivity, Miss & Mister Asian Teen Philly, and Bridging the Dream: Bringing Together American, Immigrant, and Refugee Community Members. Serving diverse communities have enriched Sarun's spirit as an individual and he continues to grow and translate these experiences to better make an impact on the under-served and under-represented.

Greetings Friends and Colleagues, It's me, Sarun Chan! I would like to share with you information about my new organization titled "secondNATUREstudios". It is a not-for-profit project I am spearheading towards providing free probono supplemental support services to community based nonprofits in need and community members. I launched secondNATURE last year in 2016. As many of you may know my background and different skill-sets, I wish to contribute back to our society in our troubling times. Please share the attached graphic flier. If you have any questions or would like to talk more about 2NStudios, feel free to contact me through email at [email protected]
