Open Heart Foundation Worldwide Inc. Dedicated to the Empowerment of Children and Youth

is a not for profit, non-stock, non-government organization founded by ROBERT LeGORE, an American barrister who served as a public defender for youth offenders in the USA. He believed that if children and youth were given the opportunities and experiences by which to develop their potentials they become responsible, creative and productive members of the society. Robert LeGore, together with a Chinese educator and three Filipinos who believed in the inherent worth and dignity of every child established the FOUDATION for the realization of this vision.
