Fundraising Developments

The $420 US comprising the school funds, plus private donations were given to Vuthy on 15th December and he was able to purchase the uniforms, 3 bicycles and school supplies (see left).

ALSO we have been able to open a dedicated account for Help for the Poor and other childrens projects that come to hand in Cambodia so are able to fund them directly on a monthly basis rather than via another organisation. Highnotes Ltd is our business who will cover the fees and be providing funds and fundraising events.

The account is Highnotes Limited (Help for the Poor),
National Bank 06 0433 0394869 20

Thank you Omokoroa No1 School!

I approached the school regarding the flooding at Help for the Poor and they kindly agreed to do a fundraising mufti day at school - with the gold coin donations they were able to give just over $300NZ which was enough to provide the uniforms for the children for their new school year which has recently started. YAY!! Well done guys. So appreciated.

In Cambodia children are refused admission to public schools without a uniform, they also must "pay" their teachers a daily fee to be taught, pass exams and graduate up a year etc - this occurs because the teachers are paid so poorly. Having to pay bribes is unfortunately a common occurrence in Cambodia.
