TedxLaJolla- Bob Goff- Be Secretly Incredible November 15, 2011

Favorite:

Bob Goff is the Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Restore International, a non-profit organization that was established to address the atrocities and injustices committed against children. With a passion and vision for finding audacious ways to restore justice to children and the poorest of the poor, Restore's mission is to make a difference on behalf of those who do not otherwise have a voice.

With a team of dedicated people, Restore International has pursued justice for the needy. They have worked with Uganda's judiciary in bringing to trial over 200 cases, including cases involving children who were languishing in jail without trial. In 2007, the Restore Academy was started. It is a school in the war-torn region of Gulu, with a current enrollment of 220 students.
In India, Restore has investigated and intervened to relieve minor girls from a life of forced prostitution, leading to the identification and arrest of over 50 perpetrators. Bob's inspiration has been fueled by the friendships he has developed with others around the world who desire to pursue strategic ways to help people in need. Bob shares leadership in a Washington law firm, Goff & DeWalt, and is admitted to practice in California and in Washington, where his firm is located. Additionally, he serves as the Hon. Consul for the Republic of Uganda to the United States. He is also an adjunct professor at Pepperdine Law School in Malibu, California, where he teaches Non-profit Law, as well Point Nazarene University in San Diego, where he teaches Business Law.

During TEDxLaJolla he presented a collection of inspirational stories about his international work and his life as a father and lawyer.
