Summer and Jennifer had to see Aziza's Place themselves after hearing about their friend Leila's experiences with the AP children! |
This month we want to emphasize the incredible energy and passion for Aziza’s Place, from current volunteer Leila Antakly. Over the past three months Leila has become part of the Aziza's Place family and has shared her enthusiasm and love of the AP children with her family and friends all around the world. Leila has a gift of connecting people and by giving them insight into her work at AP she has inspired many others to support the activities and programs of Aziza’s Place. Through the FundRazr application on Facebook, Leila connected more than 40 supporters who made financial contributions to the Aziza’s Place programs, raising enough money for Accident and Hospital/Surgery Health Insurance for the Aziza's Place staff and children. Thankyou all for joining with us in building a bright future for the children and families of Aziza’s Place.
Leila’s experience also inspired her friends to such an extent that her friends Summer Nasief and Jennifer Ven came to experience AP firsthand. They were welcomed as special guests in English classes where they spoke about their lives in Dubai and Los Angeles and answered questions from the children. Their visit included energetic Yoga and Self Defence sessions with the AP residents, and time with some of the older children to inspire and mentor them in thinking about opportunities for their futures. Thankyou both for sharing your time with us at AP during your visit to Cambodia.
