Supporting Kids in Cambodia

In Early June 2012 Fairy Sandie visited Siem Reap in Cambodia.

Fairy Sandie was asked to visit a school by a friend and he said “it’s a shame you didn’t bring your wing!”

She said in return “What do you mean? I always squeeze them in, just in case, Fairy Sandie is needed”.

It has taken Fairy Sandie a few visits to find the school that she knows she will grow Ladybird Entertainment’s support.

We have so far only supported on a very small scale, collecting small donations and $5 from each party.

In 2016 Fairy Sandie and 3 of her Fairies went back to visit a school that had only just started the year before, it was no longer running and contact had been challenging.

Some friends passed on the contact of another school that they had visited.

We went to greet the kids took gifts, bought food and introduced ourselves.

We met Jimmy a lovely man who is passionate about children and education,

who ran the school and we are keen to get back and start growing our support.

Cambodia's Unsettling Past

Some were a little unsure of something so vibrant and magical and some were a little hesitant to say hello. Cambodia is still healing from its not so long ago past of war and suffering. The children seemed pretty open but they know to well of their tragic past and their parents fear of new things. They might not agree. It is so recent the suffering, Fairy Sandie was very moved. Everyone had a story. They are the children of parents that suffered a devastating past when they were children.

Wanting to help!

When Fairy Sandie returned to Australia, the kids of Cambodia were still on her mind. She was so touched by their meeting she longed to support them and wandered how Ladybird Entertainment could do so. At the same time an email asking for our support arrived from Kralanh School and she new they were meant to be connected and Ladybird Entertainment was destined to get involved.

What will it go towards?

They are very much in need of new buildings, computers, sports equipment and a playing fields. They are growing a Permaculture Farm to contribute to their kids, inspiring sustainable techniques and supporting a community with a healthy positive future. To do this we will need more volunteers and more, equipment and teachers.

Who is behind it.

The main woman driving this school to grow with an unstoppable energy is Soluy Loeurt. Fairy Sandie was very inspired by Soluy’s devotion to help each and everyone of the kids at Kralahn School have an education It is an honour to team up with such a wonderful person.

Where to begin!

Every party booked with Ladybird Entertainment, $5 goes to our friends at Jimmy’s Village School.
