...and Ahead to 2010

In 2010, Aziza’s Place is opening doors for our resident Cambodian children and their families. AP plans to expand its outreach to families through education, counseling, job training and employment opportunities. This concentrated effort serves to enhance the quality of life not only for our 21 resident children, but also their 21 families. AP will expand its existing support to families by providing new opportunities and connecting them with critical resources for moving ahead. In 2009 we exemplified this by:

* Offering English and computer classes held at AP especially for family members

* Employing two fathers of AP residents as night guards

* Hiring two AP family members for construction and maintenance needs

* Supporting an AP resident’s father with a heath care emergency by connecting him to local services

* Rescuing a sibling of AP resident from a human trafficking scam and providing her with job training and
temporary housing
