Dear Kind Donors,
As Cambodia has struggled with both containing the pandemic and the economic effects on the whole Country, it has not been possible to Teach Music or Dance to any Children or Youth from outside our School, other than our Children who already live in residence inside our School.
However, we have been very active in helping our local community. Some people already very poor and now unable to work for very long periods, have faced real hunger, even starvation. WIth support from the DAKK Foundation and Child Safe Alliance, we have been able to provide approxmately 4,000 hot, cooked meals every day during the worst period.
Additionally, with funds from Unicef. we have been able to provide Emergency Food Packages, rent and utility- bill support and Counselling for Children, for 175 very Vulnerable families, who face hunger and malnutrition, even starvation.
My Cambodian colleagues have worked tirelessly, to organize the logistics, distribuition and follow-up of Emergency Food Packages, as well as organizing the Soup Kitchen at our School, with People served food in front of our School. We were so overwhelmed with People needing food in the first days of opening our Soup Kitchen, that we had People waiting in the rain, until we made temporary shelters.
Our Blind youth still continue to attend our School and continue their Traditional Music studies and scholastic education using Braille.
We Thank you all for your Wonderful Support and great Kindness, for Believing in our School and for your Generosity in supporting us.
We do not have any expatriate overheads or administrative costs, so that each donation goes straight to the heart of our School and to our Children.
Thank You for your Help. We wish you a Happy Christmas and Joy and Healing for the New Year 2022
