International Humanitarian

Terry Waite envoy of the Archbishop of Canterbury, international humanitarian, and former Beirut hostage is committed to responsible leadership for social justice. As a trustee of the Freeplay Group, Waite has a decidedly personal connection to Freeplay's flagship product: "I know what being cut off from communication is like," he says, "I spent five years in captivity, four of them in solitary confinement, during which time I got no news from the outside world. But near the end of my imprisonment, I did get a small, battery-operated radio. I was terrified that when the batteries died, the guards would not replace them, and I'd be back in total isolation. There are millions of people in this world who are in similar situations - cut off from the flow of information."
