Cameron Schmidt has served on the SOS USA Board of Directors for five years in a variety of capacities. Upon his election, Cameron said, “I am blessed to have visited 13 villages around the world including those in Haiti, Nicaragua, Indonesia, the USA and Italy. It is from those experiences that I have developed deep passion for the SOS Children’s Villages mission.  I firmly believe it is the absolute best ‘product’ in child development globally”.
