Brick by Brick

Everyone has been eager to help, and it has been so great to see everyone pitch in to get every single task done. As you can tell by the pictures, the classrooms are supported by a wooden frame, tarp and metal roof. They’re not nearly as sturdy and protected as we’d like them to be, but we are so grateful to be given the opportunity to build additional classrooms. We strongly believe education is power, and all the kids are so excited for the new school year to get under way and begin learning with all their new classmates. With love, compassion, determination and faith these children can accomplish (and build) anything!

SCAO Children in Classroom

Vegetable Garden of Hope

We are so happy to announce that the SCAO center recently planted a new Vegetable Garden! In addition to all the fruits and vegetables they were already growing, they have now added Lemongrass to the list. This has turned the children into mini-caretakers as they each have a personal responsibility to make sure the plants and vegetables are watered daily and growing properly. The children love all the new tasks at hand that the garden has to offer and are excited to watch the vegetables grow and eventually eat them. This will teach them that hard work does pay off!

Kids Chasing Chickens

A Coop for the Chickens

In addition to the Vegetable Garden, SCAO built a brand new Coop for the 19 chickens they just bought. Talk about exercise, the children are easily amused by running around and trying to round up all the chickens and put them back in the coop. Not only have the chickens become a great source of entertainment for the kids, but they have also taught them a valuable lesson in farming education and the various ways to reduce food costs.

Jüchen rockt für Kinder in Kambodscha!

Endlich ist es soweit! Am 27. Februar veranstaltet der Jüchener Verein Kinderhilfe in Kambodscha e.V. eine Benefiz-Rocknacht. Im redhot von Polo heizen zwei junge Jüchener Bands und der Mönchengladbacher Headliner dem Publikum mächtig ein. „Ich bin glücklich und stolz, dass sich Sunday Minds und die Freeze Dried Rockers bereit erklärt haben, kostenfei zu spielen. 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. Karten sind bei Polo im redhot für 13,20€ (inkl. Vorverkaufsgebühr) erhältlich. Neusser Str., Jüchen Einlass 19 Uhr Beinn 20 Uhr

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.
