TRAVELLING TO CAMBODIA FOR THE OPENING OF OUR NEW SCHOOL BUILDING

After almost three years of construction, we will finally be opening our new school building on 21 November 2026. Naturally, this calls for a fitting celebration. You are warmly invited to join us on site to mark this joyous occasion.

A gentle soul for tough cases

Our social worker, Sakada, always has a smile on his face. This is all the more remarkable given that his job offers little cause for laughter. Allow us to introduce him.

The hopeless

Since the outbreak of border disputes in June 2025, at up to 800,000 Cambodians have returned to Cambodia from Thailand. To a country where no one is waiting for them. We tell their stories.
