1. 1. The scorching Cambodian sun backlit the plastic bags that were being carried by small children as they scavenged through garbage for something to eat or sell.As we stood and watched the smell was overwhelming and bits of garbage blew through the air getting stuck in our hair and eyelashes burning our eyes. This was these childrens every day reality. Then we learned that these kids could go to school if only for school supplies. A few years earlier Pymean Noun built a school at the Dump called the POI school and gave the families rice in exchange for letting their children attend school instead of working the dump to feed their families. The money earmarked for school supplies was used up with the rice program and they had no supplies. Wanting to make a difference in these childrens lives we went shopping! We bought cases of school supplies and donated them to each and every student at the PIO School plus more for those waitlisted so more children could attend.
2. 2. Our Mission Empowering Women When the Ace of Good makes our delivery trips, instead of bringing backpacks from the United States, we source them locally through our womens empowerment programs. We sponsor free seamstress job-skills training and then offer our graduates employment to sew our backpacks. Our program offers women an opportunity for financial independence, eases poverty in their community, and crates beautifully made backpacks for children in need.
3. 3. Educating Children The UN estimates that 120 million children are denied an education every year, many due to their inability to afford school supplies or fees. Education is the key to fighting poverty, hunger, disease, terrorism, global warming, you name it: almost every problem can be addressed through education.
