If you know my work, you know I have a strong connection to Cambodia because I adopted two beautiful children from the country who are now teenagers. For many years, I served as a board member for an NGO, The Sharing Foundation , that manages an orphanage and many other programs in Roteang Village, including an education program.

Many children in Cambodia do not go to school because their families lack the $10 for a uniform, required for school attendance, and other school supplies. Last year, The Sharing Foundation sewing school made over 1000 uniform sets, each one with two white shirts and blue trousers or skirt. We'd love your help.

But although her fundraiser raised plenty of money, Khi realized there was no viable NGO to distribute the supplies on the ground in the middle of a fast-moving war zone. This led her to creating the Sunflower Relief NGO.

But when I realized it would take a long time before a small NGO working in a country, like say, Cambodia, might be able to purchase a small number of them (less than 100) to outfit a school, I was disappointed. So, maybe they will make it easier for people who want to support specific schools and children. Tharum was disappointed too.
