For holidays, birthdays, anniversaries, etc, it’s often a challenge to find ways to give gifts that have value for the recipient, especially for family and friends who have everything. Why not consider giving a gift of giving instead? There are gifts for every budget!
Here’s how it happens: Select a gift, then email us and let us know what you’d like to spend. We’ll reply and provide details for making your payment. We will send you a digital card (birthday, anniversary, etc) that you can personalise and print, then give to family and friends for their special occasion. When we visit the schools (usually in January and June/July) we will give the gifts to the children at the schools and bring back a photo for you of your gift in very appreciative hands, so you can see how the dollars you have spent have a direct impact on the children who receive them.
Examples:
Bicycle for a student ($80)
Art supplies ($25+)
School supplies ($25+)
Sports equipment ($25+)
Books for the library ($25+)
Toys for the kindergarten ($25+)
Gift matching concept: Buying a bike for your child? Why not add the gift of a bike so a high school student can get to school? Have an artist friend you are buying for? Why not give the gift of art supplies for the kids? You don’t have to completely bypass giving gifts if you already have something in mind for your loved ones, but you can add a special touch by letting them know that you matched your giving for children in Cambodia.
OR Support a Program or Project:
Get together with friends, family, and/or coworkers to support a program; or organise your kids’ classes to sponsor another class in Cambodia. Are you and your friends passionate about education and want to make a big impact on a small budget? Many hands make light work and a BIG difference. This is a wonderful way to give back as a community with greater impact. This is also a lovely way to honour someone you love or contribute in memory of someone you have lost.
Examples:
Student Mentoring and Leadership Development program ($1000/yr),
Expand Health Education ($200/yr),
School Photos ($200/yr),
Teacher Training ($500/yr),
English/Tech Classes ($7000/yr),
& Classroom Partnerships ($500/year).
Sponsor a Child ($330/yr)
Program sponsors will receive a framed image relevant to the program you are sponsoring with a certificate of sponsorship, which you can hang in your home, office or classroom as a reminder of the great work you are able to do as a team! You will also receive updates and photos collected on our regular visits to Cambodia so you see can your dollars in action.
