The Girl's Home

Hello Everyone,

Eight Years Ago

Same Girls Today

We hope all is well wherever this finds you. We thought we would give you an update about one of our favourite programs... The Girl's Home. A place that is dear to our hearts. As many of you know, we started the girl's home eight years ago when the street children's centre, in Siem Reap, was closed due to lack of funding. The director, You Vath, offered to open her small home and take in six of the most vulnerable girls and we said we would fundraise to help the girls have a safe place to live.

Thanks to the generous support of our donors, we have now assisted over 30 girls to live happy, healthy and safe lives. Some have gone on to work and one is in university. Together with the guidance, love and support of You Vath and K.I.D.S., these terrific girls live in harmony, study hard, learn their traditional dance, learn english, computers, respect for themselves and others and most of all they have learned to create their own supportive, loving family and home.

 

We have watched these girls, who came from the street, orphanages or abusive situations, grow into kids who are thriving. The girl's are very appreciative of the opportunity they have been given. We are inspired by their resilience, their laughter and their desire to improve their lives. Thank you for your support and for giving them the life and future that every child deserves.

All the best to you and yours,

Adrianne and Rick
