| Jack Ong is an American-born Chinese
actor, writer and activist with a professional background in
print journalism, marketing, advertising and public relations.
Jack is a licensed minister with the Missionary Church and executive
director of The Dr. Haing S. Ngor Foundation, which he established
in 1991 with the late Oscar-winning actor of “The Killing Fields.”

understanding through education and outreach. Another Foundation
commitment is preserving the legacy of Haing Ngor and his human
rights work in Cambodia and America, as well as the history
of those who survived the genocidal regime of Pol Pot and the
Khmer Rouge (1975-1979).
