William Shatner is a very famous actor best known for playing Captain Kirk in the original television series Star Trek.

About Aid Still Required
Aid Still Required (ASR) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing assistance and relief from catastrophes that the Western world has largely forgotten about. Members of ASR go to countries that have not yet recovered from forgotten tragedies and start programs to help the impoverished citizens get back on their feet and live better, healthier and more sustainable lives.
For example, they provide counseling to sexual assault survivors, education for at-risk children, small-business training for women and environmental restoration. They also advocate for continued support for disasters, bringing the stories of those disasters and their survivors to the attention of around 600 million people to date.
ASR was co-founded by Andrea Herz Payne and Hunter Payne. Andrea organizes the projects while Hunter brings attention to forgotten disasters. The main board includes Maureen A. Charles, Dorothy K. Breininger, and Debra Halperin Poneman. In addition, many actors, athletes and musicians help ASR to further its goals through their continued advocacy and support.
