Most of tourism industry here is foreign owned but it’s the workers who will feel the pinch. EU has also come down hard on Cambodia over human rights violations and introduced trade sanctions. A wretched period but with adversity comes opportunity.
My god mother does a bit work out in Cambodia in some schools. You’ve probably come across her. That’s great stuff Raymond and it’s great to see tfk coming together to give a little bit back.
Total amount raised from TFK = €805
Average Cambodian monthly salary = €240
Minimum wage for 40 hour week = €170
Monthly Social Welfare payments for garment workers laid off in Cambodia = $70

A massive thank you to the 24 posters who contributed €1,225 in funding. It is an extremely tough time for small charities such as ours in Cambodia. The fact that 24 posters have contributed so generously, means a lot to me personally. More importantly it means a lot to the teachers and children we work with here in Cambodia. Perhaps this should also go in the ‘things that are right thread’. It is truly heartwarming. We will work hard to ensure your money has a lasting impact. Ni neart go cur le cheile.
