Milla Sunde.
Milla Sunde is one half of the musical group
The Green Children. Milla is from the coastal town of Alesund, in the west of Norway. Alesund is home to very dramatic nature, which has always acted as a great inspiration for her creativity. From a young age she hoped to channel this creativity in a way that could positively influence the world. After visiting Bangladesh and India to learn more about microcredit, The Green Children were incredibly inspired by the borrowers they met with.
Tom Bevan.
Tom Bevan and Milla Sunde met at a music a school in Liverpool which was jointly established by Sir Paul McCartney. After partnering to write a song, the pair have been busy working together ever since. Tom's home is Warwick, a medieval town in central England. Close to the area where Shakespeare grew up and wrote, Warwick is a magical and charming place. Tom and Milla share a great passion for music and humanitarianism. Together they hope to highlight some of the positive solutions that are working to conquer world poverty.
The Green Children are donating proceeds from fundraising sales and activities to further the positive contribution microcredit is making to poor people around the world.
