October 2010- Stung Meanchey Dump in Phnom Penh, Cambodia

   

  The eggs and vitamins provided during the past year have definitely been a success.  Enrollment at the school is up to over 300 children and we hope we have played a part in this.  Attendance is up and the children are growing strong. The organization running the school is reaching out to other donation sources to start similar programs at two other schools they run.  COLOR is increasing the program from two to three eggs a week; we hope this will serve as a model for other donors.

“Thank you for your support and helping those kids. You don't imagine 
how those kids look like after they start eating the egg and taking multivitamin supplement,
they are gaining wait most of them they are eating two plates of rice during lunch time.

Thank you so much for your support.” Aster

 

PIO Children at SMC are now receiving a daily multivitamin and an egg twice a week. Our teachers report that this has had a positive impact on the children with regards to their health and mental state.  PIO January Newsletter

 

 

 

October 2009 - Stung Meanchey Dump in Phnom Penh, Cambodia    

 

    This project provides children living at the Stung Meanchey Dump in Phnom Penh, Cambodia with a source of protein and a multi-vitamin.  The program is intended to increase the number of children attending the local school by providing students nutritional support on campus. There are currently 500 children residing at the Stung Meanchey Dump, with only about 250 attending school.  We are hopeful that the nutritional support will be an incentive for parents to send their children to school daily.
