The Forgotten International - History
The Forgotten International, founded in 2007, is an effort on the part of Professor Thomas A. Nazario at the University of San Francisco School of Law. For over 30 years Professor Nazario has worked in a variety of ways to help identify the needs and defend the rights of children, not only here in the United States, but worldwide. In doing so he has visited children who have been orphaned by AIDS in Botswana, imprisoned in jails in Rwanda, lived in sewers in Romania, sold into sexual slavery in Thailand, and escaped oppression in Tibet only to live in poverty as refugees in India and Nepal.
TFI grew mainly from his international work with the United Nations, the U.S. State Department, and Human Rights Watch, and also as a result of meeting children throughout the world who would not survive but for the kindness and generosity of others.
