Friends Cambodia

Friends is a great NGO working in Cambodia, Phnom Penh to be exact. They take street kids and get them off the street and into a job where they can earn a good living and learn a good trade. Here is an email that I received from them today.

Help us build futures.

Every day, Mith Samlanh provides vocational training, education, counseling, medical services and outreach programs to 1800 street children and youth in Phnom Penh.

We need your help to secure our center in Phnom Penh so we can continue to help support street children and their families become independent and productive members of their community.
From now until December 15th 2009, every $1 donated to the Mith Samlanh Center will be matched with an additional $2 by one of our very generous and long time supporters.

Please help us by donating to our most urgent appeal, either independently or by organizing a larger donations pool amongst your work mates and friends to help us raise enough funds to secure our center and continue in our commitment to help building more futures.

Alternatively, you can also help Mith Samlanh and Friends-International by dining at our restaurants in Phnom Penh or making a purchase at one of our social businesses. All the profits from our social businesses currently go towards the Mith Samlanh Center.

This is one of the many reasons I love going to Cambodia and bringing teams with me, because people are making a difference and we can to. If you would like to learn more about friends check them out here.
