A Message from the Directors
Since our introduction to Aziza’s Place and Phnom Penh two years ago, we have witnessed the city change, and seen amazing progress with our children and programs. The children are growing at an astounding rate both physically and intellectually. We are amazed with their ever increasing eagerness to learn and experience the world around them. Changes in Phnom Penh are occurring through fast-paced development; skyscrapers are rising and more and more businesses are moving in. Land grabbing, evictions, and a greater divide between the rich and poor are the result. This development is leaving Cambodia's next generation with an unnerving set of challenges.
Aziza’s Place prepares our residents to overcome these challenges. Students will graduate from AP with an invaluable skill set that incorporates education, vocational training, and a creative and open mindset. Our staff and teachers instill the importance of leadership and challenge students to imagine how they can make a positive impact on state of their community. In this issue we highlight our film education and vocational training programs that serve our ultimate goal to prepare residents for the world outside of AP. We will continue to adapt and develop our educational and vocational programs to meet the standards of a future in the rapidly changing country of Cambodia. We are so grateful for your support of Aziza’s Place as we continue to provide children with a new future, a future they choose.
With gratitude,
Ali and Dan
