Exciting new project

During the time we have spent in Cambodia we have met some wonderful, generous people from all over the world. One of those is Ingrid, a German lady who is a passionate fundraiser and who sponsors multiple Cambodian children and their families. Ingrid approached us to ask if we were able to sponsor a young man she knew who passed year 12 and has been accepted into university but who cannot afford the fees. We have now committed to funding the university education of Seng Somnang. Somnang will move from Sihanoukville in the south to the Capitol, Phnom Penh to study engineering. He is lucky enough to have two sponsors. A lady from Germany will pay for his living expenses and we will fund his university fees, text books and uniforms.
Good luck, Somnang. We wish you every success for your future.

Kids movie night

We are holding another kids movie night. The last one was so much fun that I have had requests for a repeat. The last one was held nearly a year ago and heaps of locals kids brought along mattresses and blankets and got really comfy.
The idea is that the kids get to choose from a range of movies on the night and we all lay back and enjoy them on the big screen (thank you to the Nymboida Public School for the loan of the projector and screen). All proceeds benefit Cambodian charities.

Buddha and new donors

New Donors

Two lovely local ladies have recently become regular donors. Thank you so much to Pat and Ruth for your generous support. All donations are used for projects where families live together and need help to further their education and employment opportunities. We now have enough regular donors to consider what our next project will be. We are investigating that now and will be researching those projects that embrace the same objectives that are of importance to us and our supporters, education, increasing skills etc

Working together

Frank Cervetto, a friend of ours from a nearby town has become a regular donor to Choice in Phnom Penh. Frank has been making Buddhas in different colours, styles and mediums which I sell at the Nymboida Markets. I then forward the money back to Frank to be paid to Choice, a lovely synergy. Below, is one of the first Buddhas which I bought for our garden. The colour has softened and now has an aged appearance which is perfect amongst ferns and shady trees.

Fund Raising Garage Sale in Grafton ! Sat, 23 August

A friend in Grafton, Marg McKenna is having a garage sale and decided she would like to donate the proceeds from the sale to our Cambodian Fund.  Marg has a lot of knick knacks that have been collected over the years, as well as items from relatives who have left "stuff" behind and she wants to clear the lot.  Come on over to her place, 20 Bent St, Grafton, near the main Clarence River bridge, on Saturday 23 August in the morning and help her clear her garage and help the Cambodian Organisations we support with our fund raising.

We'll update this post with a photo of the setup as Marg lays items out ! So check back on the website if you want to see what's happening !
