To our dear supporters and friends,
Firstly, we hope you enjoyed a happy holiday and new year with those you love most. We were fortunate to be able to celebrate together, bringing all our children to have a xmas party full of games, song, dance and food. We try to do this every year so that each child knows they are seen, and feel special. Thank you to our Board Member Richard and his wife Vicky who each year help to fund this special day, and thank you to Lixin Charity who joined Tiny Toones to make the day extra special.
During November and December we were fortunate to form a collaboration with Khmer Rise Up organisation who came to spend time with our young children in the centre. They are a new local organisation that promote diversity by celebrating the potential of young Cambodians through dance and sport. The team spent time with KK and the children, teaching dance workshops and holding basketball lessons. Tiny Toones has always had a basketball ring but never really a teacher with expertise in this area. The children loved learning new sports and team skills and of course thoroughly enjoyed learning new dance moves and styles. Thank you to Khmer Rise up, and of course thank you to our staff for continuing to teach our regular classes at Tiny Toones.
In 2025, we are aiming to get back to our former glory which for us means continuing to find ways to be more self-sustainable, and then we dream of increasing our staff' salaries (who worked with minimal pay for many years during and since Covid). We are currently looking also for a volunteer grant researcher if any of you have this skill and would be willing to help us find a mid to long-term grant to help us out. Please get in touch with Romi - romigrossberg09@gmail.com
Lastly, if you have not yet got your hands on our latest book, Hip Hop & Hope - A memoir of my time at Tiny Toones as the General manager, then please grab your copy HERE. 50% of all proceeds go back to the centre.
Much love and appreciation,
Romi, KK and the Tiny Toones family.
