My 53rd birthday wish was to raise money for the Sharing Foundation to send 53 Cambodian Youngsters to school by covering the cost of their uniforms ($10 per child). That means 454 youngsters will be able to attend school in Cambodia and hopefully, fine, a route out of poverty. Kami Watson Huyse calls this a shared accomplishment.
