Back in 2006, Darren met an eight-year-old Cambodian girl who had been rescued from abuse and exploitation. His own daughter was eight years old at the time and the personal impact led him to leave an eighteen-year career in audio production to pursue justice and freedom for the most vulnerable on our planet. This passion has led Darren to join the awesome team at EDM to actively interrupt the trafficking of young women and children in Nepal and prevent them falling into the hands of those who would harm them.
