About Us
Milla Sunde and Marlow Bevan established The Green Children Foundation to support microcredit, education and healthcare. We believe in promoting positive stories that highlight the solution, not the problem.
Milla Sunde.
Milla Sunde is a professional singer and songwriter currently residing in Los Angeles. She was born and raised on the west coast of Norway, in a small town called Alesund. Alesund is home to very dramatic nature, which has always acted as a great inspiration for Milla’s creativity. From a young age she hoped to channel this creativity in a way that could positively influence the world. In 2005, after visiting Bangladesh and India to learn more about microcredit, The Green Children were incredibly inspired by the borrowers they met with.
Their inspiration quickly turned in to action, with a second trip to Bangladesh where they shot a music video to celebrate the women borrowers of Grameen Bank, known as ‘the bank for the poor’.
In 2006, Prof. Yunus and Grameen Bank won the Nobel Peace Prize for their 30 years of service in eradicating poverty. As part of the celebrations The Green Children sold a CD/DVD package in stores throughout Norway. With this campaign they raised the funds for a new eye care hospital in rural Bangladesh. The hospital was opened in May 2008 and has already served 60,000 people.
Marlow Bevan.
Marlow Bevan is a multi-instrumentalist, producer and songwriter. He met Milla Sunde at the Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts, a school jointly established by Sir Paul McCartney.
After partnering to write a song, the pair have been busy working together ever since. Marlow’s home is Warwick, a medieval town in central England. Close to the area where Shakespeare lived, Warwick is a magical and charming place. Marlow and Milla share a great passion for music and humanitarianism and believe in using their talent for a greater purpose.
Vidar Jorgensen.
The Green Children Foundation is proud to have Vidar Jorgensen as a member of it’s board. Vidar is the Chairman of the World Health Care Congress and majority owner of seven health care industry focused research and conference companies, which in turn own and manage over 300 conferences.
In 2008, Vidar established Grameen America in Queens, New York. For more information please visit their website, www.grameenamerica.com. He resides in Concord, Massachusetts with his wife Kathy. They have three adult children Lorens, Nicholas and Kristen.
