Als dann auch noch Fandango zugesagt haben war der Abend perfekt!“ freut sich Organisatorin Jennifer Glindemann. Alle drei Bands garantieren einen grandios tanzbaren Abend – und DJ Fischkopp wird den tanzwütigen Füßen den Rest geben.
Die Einnahmen aus dem Kartenverkauf gehen zu 100% an den Verein Kinderhilfe in Kambodscha e.V., der ein Kinderhaus in Kambodscha unterstützt. „ Wir sorgen dort für den Lebensunterhalt sowie die medizinische Versorgung von 17 Kindern und kommen für die Kosten der öffentlichen Schule auf. So haben die Kinder die Chance, aus Armut auszubrechen und eine furchtlose und sichere Kindheit zu verbringen. Schritt für Schritt begleitet eins unserer Gründungsmitglieder die Entwicklung der Organisation vor Ort. Damit unsere Spenden wirklich zu 100% ankommen!“ versichert die Vorsitzende des Vereins. Mit dem Erlös soll die Erweiterung des Kinderhauses finanziert werden, da zwei neue Kinder aufgenommen wurden und der Schlafsaal vergrößert werden muss.

There’s a lot of great news coming from SCAO, and we wanted to share a few of the positive and promising updates we’ve received. In addition to building new dormitories and enhancing some of the educational opportunities, SCAO has been busy at work growing their own vegetable garden and helping their new volunteers adapt.
We are proud of our progress since the floods have receded. The children have returned to the Center and we are rebuilding, growing and furthering our children’s welfare and education. Here are just a few exciting current developments at the Center:
- New Dormitory Addition: Construction to enlarge the dormitory has started under the direction of contractor Mr. Sorn (brother-in-law of Mr. Samith), who came to lend his skills and support from the northern remote Preah Vihear province.
- Vocational Training Sponsored by SCAO: Sey Ha has done something no adult or technician could do. He repaired my motorbike with a few adjustments to the engine that he learned from his vocational training sponsored by SCAO.
- Sewing Project Selling Goods: Our sewing project continues to be productive and rewarding. Items created and sown by the students can be purchased at the Center, such as wallets, bags and shirts.
- Computer Learning Project: Ngorl is taking SCAO sponsored daily computer classes. We have plans of starting a computer learning project at the Center that he will coordinate and help run.
- Maori/Kiwi Culture Meets Khmer Culture: Amy and Summer are two volunteers from New Zealand who lived at the center for 2 months — teaching, supporting, and caring for all the kids with heart, mind and soul!!!! Thank you!!!!
- Garden Fresh: A small vegetable garden including Lemongrass was planted and is now cared for by the children.
- Generous Donor Aids Education: Thanks to a generous donor’s contribution, a motorbike can now be purchased and mainly used by our students, Hom and Srey Lad, to attend their daily University and the English intensive training courses, respectively.
We need your help:
SCAO is constantly working hard to improve the lives of the children under our care so they can realize a better life. Your donations a big part of our Center’s success and are not only very welcomed and needed, but much appreciated by the children and the Samith family. Please visit our donations page for more info on how you can help.

Fourteen year olds Pon and Jey were given care at the SCAO Center early this year. Pon’s father lost a leg to a land mine accident and is unable to care for his son. Jey is an orphan that has nowhere to live. They both come from the remote area of Preah Vihear where school education and social integration are non existent.
SCAO now takes care of Pon
Jey now has a place to live
Happily, both children were immediately integrated into the SCAO family. Within ten days, SCAO arranged for them to go to public school and attend the English classes at the SCAO Center twice daily.
Today, they are beaming with gratitude and it shows in their smiling eyes. They love their new life in their new caring and safe environment. We hope to add more children as our funding permits.
