Funding from Friends of AP Aids Renovation of Girl's Living Quarters and New School Uniforms for the 2010-2011 Academic Year

This month we would like to highlight AP supporters, Susan and Arch Elving (Dhahran, Saudi Arabia).  Susan and Arch are long-time supporters of the Aziza Foundation and Aziza's Place and we are thrilled that Susan made the effort to visit Cambodia to see our program first-hand earlier in September. Susan and Arch made an additional donation in September of $800 that will provide all the children with new school uniforms and other much needed clothing items for the year. Along with their personal support, Susan has engaged her women's group, the American Women of the Eastern Province, also based in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia, to partner with Aziza's Place. We thank the Elving's and AWEP for their continued partnership in support of the growth of the children and families we serve.

Once again Aziza's Place sends its deepest thanks to our partner,  Moms Against Poverty (MAP), based in the United States. Thanks to MAP, we were able to tear down the walls of the girls' living quarters that were compromising the integrity of the AP house as well as to double the size of their dorm area. Now the girls now have a huge living space and enough room to comfortably accommodate up to 15 girls. We invite you to take a look at the construction process and final product in a Facebook album.

Thank you to our generous supporters
