    The Athlete’s Foot School I

    This primary and secondary school serves a farming community. The school opening was a great event with local parents cooking up a feast for our International visitors. Once the building opened students came from far and wide to attend and get their first experience of computers. Some cycling over 15 km to study. The school has since hosted several visits by students and sponsor groups.

    Creative Childhood Development Program

    Ang Snuol District, Cambodia - In this holistic and child-centered community-based program, children are given back their childhood through creative play that is sensitive to the local culture. This project, coordinated by Mango Tree Garden, is currently engaging around 80 children (6 to 13 years old) from four different villages in Ang Snuol district. The children, of whom many are orphans, are from poor farmer families. Many of these children are at risk to develop a mental health problem sooner or later in life and therefore given the chance to benefit from the program in their communities.

    Through storytelling, drawing, painting, drama, singing and dancing children are given the opportunity to find and to live their dreams, to express themselves and to heal their wounds. Facilitated and guided by adults, the children find their place in the garden and the garden finds a place in their hearts.
