Gift Ideas for everyone on your list.
Birthdays , Christmas, Bar Mitzvahs or just because….
Let us explain how it works:
Choose a gift there are many to choose from.
Whichever gift you choose it will make a difference in a child’s life.
Once you’ve chosen the gift a personal gift card, hand drawn by one of our own children, is sent to your friend or loved one or an email card if time is of the essence. The card will explain how you are making a real difference in Cambodia.
We are pretty low tech and don’t have a lot of money for web design or magic buttons so you will have to use our Paypal make a Donation button and then let us know who you would like to receive the card or email.
Sponsor a child: $120 a year provides a child with opportunity to go to both Khmer school and English lessons. It also supplies them with 2 uniforms, a school bag, school supplies and all the pens books and pencils for the year.
Buy a bag of Rice : $30 buys one 50K bag of rice.
Rice is the staple of the Cambodian diet and we use 5 / 50 Kilo bags every week in our lunch program, providing a hearty meal to 120 plus children daily. We also supply rice weekly to our poorer families who would otherwise go without. The gift of food is the gift of life.
Buy a Bike$50 buys a bike to get the kids to school. We provide transportation for the students to get to school and CCPP if they live far away.
Bikes for school
Gifts that make a difference include
You could buy lunch for 130 children . This is a lot less than you can imagine. Lunch is $30 for a nutritious fish / egg or soy meal and all the rice you can eat included. We serve lunch 6 days a week. This also includes a morning snack of a banana or bread with sweet meal. Quite a deal .
How about Flip Flops? Help them walk a mile in their own shoes. At a cost of $50 per month. Footwear is required for school, they wear out and break easily. We supply approximately 50 flip flops a month.
Painting Supplies/ $22 weekly
We use a lot of paint and have to buy in bulk in Phnom Pehn. We use 2-4 tubes of large paint weekly at a cost of $5.50 per tube. This is the heart of out work and an essential item.
Pencils /Paper/ Pens / $15 weekly Another essential to our program . We supply books and tools for school and also use them in our own school.
Fix some bikes. All the bikes we give to the children are used so the need to be fixed on a regular basis ,We hire a M’lop Tapang. another NGO, trainee to come on Fridays and fix bikes. His wage is only $5 but the parts are on average $40 , this fixes about 15 bike’s wheels ,gears, brakes, seats, flats bent rims. etc.
And how about the basics? Anyone want to pay our rent? It is 900 monthly for the campus.
Or a teachers wage? We have 3 at $180 each month for each one.
Or yes you can also buy us a chicken . We are looking to buy laying hensto enhance our lunch program.
