Cambodia Building Team Update

In January our field team spent two weeks working with our newest project partner, Teen Challenge in Cambodia. Teen Challenge runs a drug rehabilitation centre for young boysand has a vision to develop sustainable projects to support the Centre’s program.

Our team of 10 was made up of tradies and practical guys from Perth who helped build a piggery and extend the outdoor dining area.The guys worked extremely hard to get the jobs done and also got to know the young boys who are part of the Centre’s program.

Teen Challenge Director Koy Chhim said they had a great time with the team and were delighted with the progress made.A big thanks to team leader Richard Bromley and all the men who volunteered their time.

The Foundation is now calling for community fundraisers to help raise funds to purchase pigs for their new piggery.

Spare Change at SUBWAYmakes a Difference

Thanks to the continued support from SUBWAY® restaurants in Perth, the Foundation has raised over $50,000 in 2010 through the in-store money boxes.These funds are making a real difference in the lives of orphaned and vulnerable children in Bali, Cambodia and Thailand.

They are providing: Food and school fees for 60 children living in Balinese orphanages, emergency medical care for children living in desperate poverty in a Bangkok slum anda creative activity program for children in Cambodia who’ve been rescued from forced labour and sexual exploitation.

“The spare change that SUBWAY® customers donate really adds up and goes a long way in helping children in desperate need. We’re incredibly grateful for the generosity of customers and for the restaurants and volunteer collectors that have helped make this possible.” said Bridget Hadfield, Foundation Manager.

Our goal this year is to raise more funds through money boxes in other business and retail outlets. If you're a business owner or manager, or know of a business that could help by having a money box on the front-counter then please let us know.

Thank you for helping rescue, protect and empower children's lives.
