Kim Feinberg
Kim Feinberg (born 1962 in South Africa) is a community organiser and philanthropic worker. She is best known as the founder of ''Tomorrow Trust'', an organisation that educates children in South Africa who have been orphaned by AIDS, apartheid, and poverty. In 2003 she was elected a Fellow by Ashoka: Innovators for the Public.〔(Ashoka Fellows )〕
==Early life==
Feinberg grew up in a broken home of limited financial means in apartheid South Africa, gaining a background in the performing arts. She was raised in a Jewish household. In 1993 she attended a showing of the seminal movie Schindler's List, which deeply moved her and motivated her to begin an oral-history project〔''Survivors of the Shoah Foundation''〕 to capture personal histories of Holocaust survivors and witnesses for the Shoah Foundation. Inspired by her work,〔"It was a really humbling experience. No one can fully understand what went on in Nazi Germany except the survivors." Kim Feinberg〕 she started the Foundation for Education Tolerance, which spreads awareness of global atrocities to young people.〔(December 2008 interview with Kim Feinberg, including a portrait )〕
Her volunteer work led her to the Topsy Foundation,〔(The Topsy Foundation website )〕 a South African organisation which works to combat the deleterious effects of HIV/AIDS. Many of that disease's victims are children, which caused Feinberg to tell herself, "I must do something. I'd been part of the biggest oral history project in the world and yet no one had heard the voices of these kids."〔December 2008 Sandton interview quote〕 Her decision was to create the Tomorrow Publication. She gathered the stories of several orphans and collated them into a book, which drew upon the talents of several of the children in writing and drawing portions of the book. Most of the profits raised by sales of the book went into the Tomorrow Trust.
Feinberg has two children, a son and a daughter.〔(December 2008 interview )〕
