Wednesday, July 15 9:00 am EDT is the start of Globalgiving.org Bonus Match Day
Although this particular segment of the Summer Arts Camp has passed , we are pleased to be able to say that the Summer Arts Camp has continued over the years because of our generous donors. We are sending this project update to you because your past interest and kind support of the Summer Arts Camp projects.
It is our hope to be able to put on a Summer Arts Camp for 2015 as we have done for 7 out of the past 8 years. The students in our Camp have little to do during the 2 month summer break and our Camp offers them an opportunity for fun in a safe environment , teaching skills and self discipline while also learning about Cambodia's rich cultural heritage.
Stable funding is important to the success of our arts programs at Champey Academy and the Bonus Match day is vitally important to our ability to fund the 2015 Camp for disadvantaged children ages 4-16.Campers will include medically fragile children from the Phnom Penh Municipal Orphanage, at risk teens and children and children from ourn AIDS Patient Family Support Program. Our arts programs offer arts and education that these children would not otherwise be able to access.
Without you, our donors, none of the programs would be possible. As you review our projects, you will see that they are interconnected. As a way to manage scarce resources and funding, we first try to see if we can use existing programs to supplement needs in other Kasumisou projects. For example children from the FSP attend the enrichment classes at the Summer Arts Camp.
We would be grateful if you can review our program updates and consider whether you might again join us in our efforts to continue to offer these programs. We have summarized the features of the Bonus Match below.
Thank you for your kind support,
Barbara & Mark
