Ms Elain Younn
Elain Younn is an entrepreneur, but above all a philanthropist following her heart. When she returned to Cambodia twenty years ago, she founded a school where children could receive high quality education in a loving environment. In a place where years ago any form of art was suppressed, she founded CambodiaSings, an NGO which makes singing possible for more than a thousand Cambodian children every week. Elain founded the Souladvisor, a ground-breaking wellness platform bringing together practitioners from many disciplines and manifesting the Angkor Grace Wellness resort as the physical space, in Siem Reap, where all the different therapies can take place with beautiful, luxury accommodations. She also created BraveHearts Program and SoulAdvisor Foundation.
She is the author of the book “The Wisdom of The Divines”. As with her other projects, when Elain identified a gap in the world around her, this time access to high quality medical care in Siem Reap, she did what she does best, bringing together motivated and inspired Cambodian doctors together with European and Singaporean specialists. Singjaya is the result of this effort.
