Help Us Keep the Lights On!!

To our dear supporters and friends,

We are delighted to share with you that Tiny Toones is really starting to feel like it is getting it's groove back - metaphorically and literally. International school groups and other visitors are visiting again to hear about our centre and to join a hip hop dance class with the kids. Whilst it is not financially lucrative, it brings energy and joy in to the centre. And we love energy and joy.

We are also happy to anounce that we have a new board member who joined our team in July. Sophea Phea is a Cambodian-American deportee residing in the US. and founder of 1Love Cambodia. She is a long time friend of KK's and supporter of Tiny Toones and comes with tonnes of enthusiasm. With two board members currently residing in the US, we are now aiming for our 501c3 status.

We thank you whole heartedly for your ongoing support, we couldn't do what we do without you.

We welcome visitors with open arms, and an open dance floor. Here is a photo of a recent group of school students from Melbourne Australia enjoying a hip hop class with Tiny Toones, and we look forward to welcoming you too.

Best wishes from the Tiny Toones Family xxx 

Thank you to our dear friends and supporters of our centre,

We appreciate you jumping in to help when we needed it most. To date we have received $9,041 of our $25,000 target and whilst we are still aiming for our goal, your contribution helped greatly to keep us going. As you can imagine it has been a long slow process and the first few months of 2023 were extremely tough. We made the heart-breaking decision earlier this year to close for the month of March in order to help us get financially back ahead. Our staff and students graciously understood that at that point it was the only way and we are pleased to say that as planned, we re-opened April 1st with renewed drive and in a slightly better place financially.

Whilst we are not out of the woods yet, your kindness has allowed us some breathing space. We will continue the hard work and with your support hope to continue and grow for a long time to come. We are constantly looking for new ideas, new volunteers and new inspiration to keep the centre vibrant and an exciting place to work and be a student. 

With love and Respect,

The Tiny Toones Family.

Thank you to our dear friends and supporters of our centre,

We appreciate you jumping in to help when we needed it most. Your donations were gratefully received and genuinely did 'Help Us Keep the Lights On' to reach the end of 2022. And we did! Our kids are back in classes and back on the dancefloor.

We suffered along with the rest of the world during the pandemic and breathed a sigh of relief to make it to the end of this year, due to generous people such as yourselves. We are now looking forward and preparing for our annual Christmas celebration at the centre with the use of pre-pandemic donations that we kept at the ready. The staff and children here love our Christmas day - full of wrapped presents, a big meal and a show put on by the staff and students. Follow us on Facebook or Instagram to see our pics of the day.

Whilst we are not out of the woods yet, your kindness has allowed us some breathing space to now look for long-term and sustainable grants and hopefully in the near future to hire a fundraising and communications staff member.

However you celebrate the end of 2022, may it be full of love, peace and good health,

With love and Respect,

The Tiny Toones Family.
