International Women’s Day |
|
For International Women’s Day, the students from the TaPang school marched with signs and posters in support of women's rights! Boys and girls together brainstormed and celebrated the importance of their mothers, sisters and all female members of their community. We want our boys and girls to grow up respecting and valuing each other, working together to make better life for their families and beyond. The Community came out to cheer and encourage their message. Our teachers from both Kiri and TaPang schools in the meantime attended a sexual abuse prevention workshop. |
Our Global Giving project benefitting our girls program has surpassed the $1,300 mark. We still need $13,000. Consider making a recurring donation. Click Here. |

The students from TaPang school had a unique opportunity to create with our volunteer Graphic Designer from Michigan, Brian Bibi, during his 12-day visit to Siem Reap. Ten students were directed to create ten drawings that show their everyday life, dreams and hopes for the future. The artwork will help to create ten 22-page books all about their story. Available in April on Amazon and as perks through a Crowdfunding project to support a dedicated Art Program & Teacher. |
We can see how the constant encouragement of creativity in our Library Arts & Crafts Program has changed the students' self -expression from just copying pictures to creating their very own. |

Through the years we have been blessed with some outstanding, passionate and dedicated international volunteers. It is very rewarding to see volunteers return to Cambodia for another stint or continue to work as our ambassadors spreading our message and advocating for our cause when they return home. |
Our former sports volunteer Peter Gatt from Australia gave Aud$2000 to continue supporting our sports program. |
