Dear Friends of Aziza's Place,
This edition of Aziza’s Courtyard is filled with exciting goings-on at Aziza’s Place over the last two months! First and foremost is the glorious news of our House-mom Mom Phat’s wedding that took place on April 29th, filled with joy and celebration! Also no less important, is the move of the nine eldest Aziza’s Place residents into new accommodation (five boys in a roomy flat down the street from AP and four girls into the adjacent former volunteer flat) providing them a degree of independence in a safe and controlled environment as well as tasking with taking on greater responsibility in looking after themselves. This project represents a significant step for Aziza’s Place as well as our eldest residents in the preparation for their eventual departure from AP. This important initiative also impacts all current residents by opening up room for new, younger children to enter Aziza’s Place.
As a consequence of these changes, existing staff members have taken on new responsibilities and two new staff members, Mom Sarik and Chamroeun, have joined the Aziza’s Place team. Mom Phat’s new responsibility will be as House Manager for the new boys’ residence where she will live with her new husband while also working full days at Aziza’s Place during the weekends. Mom Sarik will take on Mom Phat’s previous role as a House Mom at AP during weekdays while Chamreoun is welcomed as a weekend staff member who will provide extra supervision and support for the children’s weekend activities, enabling our full-time staff to have full weekend breaks. Read more about Sarik and Chamroeun below.
Rounding out the full roster of activities this past month, AP’s younger children competed in the annual ISF Football Tournament, while all the residents eagerly participated in the creative art workshops led by visitor Barb Devine. The children and staff were also delighted to see Co-founder Amjad Ghori and his friends Mark Arnold and Cindy Turcott this month who timed their visit to coincide with Mom Phat’s wedding. They all jumped right in to the fun and activity at Aziza’s Place. Read on for more detail!
