Franklin Lamca, an author and puppeteer, is dedicated to promoting human rights from a Christian perspective. A victim of child abuse and social type-casting, he spent three years in Europe performing marionette plays where he witnessed the aftermath of the Holocaust and the modern-day persecution of the Romani (Gypsies). Franklin believes the world must change and not forget; his mission is to bring awareness to child abuse, religious persecution, and social discrimination. He lives summers in Bedford, Pennsylvania, and winters near Phoenix, Arizona.
