Amnesty International (Irvine chapter) and Living Ubuntu host a combined meeting featuring Daily Pilot photographer, Kent Treptow. He recently visited Mongolia and photographed Mongolian street children who take cover down under manholes to survive the extreme cold. Come join us as Kent tells us the stories of these children, both haunting and inspiring at the same time.

"Some stories are too compelling, too wrenching, not to tell."
- Daily Pilot Editor
