Our
Mission: Enable each child to reach maximum potential by providing residents
with a safe environment, a range of creative educational, developmental and
recreational programs, nurturing individuality, character and community while
preparing each child for onward challenges and success, whether they involve
university education, vocational training, or gainful employment.
Dear friends of Aziza's Place,
While the summer break from the Khmer public schools, starting mid-July, meant no school for the AP residents, their life at AP is nevertheless full of activity. The eldest residents developed their own schedules as they headed out to their internships at various organisations and businesses around the city for their internship activities. Some chose to work in paid positions while others opted to volunteer to gain skills in a field specifically suited to their interests. We are impressed at the way they have each taken responsibility, and independently pursued and made their own decisions for their internship roles, with minimal input from the AP Staff.
Our younger residents continue to pursue their supplementary studies at Aziza's Place, while also being afforded time for other new activities planned for the next two months, including; participation in a valuable week-long Reproductive Health Education Course with Karol & Setha for the younger teens (as described further below) and swimming classes, a new and exciting effort for the children to develop this vital skill.
We also convened the first of our 'Family Days', a new initiative for Aziza's Place children and their families to assemble and share new activities in the framework of the greater AP community. These gatherings have already proven to be a great success as a positive bonding time for AP residents, their parents and siblings, and AP staff. We look forward to the next Family Day in November.
Last, but not least, we extend a sincere thanks to our generous family of supporters who enable all Aziza's Place activities to become reality. This month, we send out a special Thank You to Global Fund for Children (GFC) for their decision to once again support Aziza's Place in 2012 and gratitude for their pledge to support in the coming years. We also hosted Amanda Hsiung, GFC Associate Program Officer, in July - it is always wonderful to show our supporters the impact they have made on the lives of the Aziza's Place children. An extra special note of gratitude is reserved for Craig Nethercott and Laura Mountcastle, two long-standing supporters of Aziza's Place who once again demonstrated their commitment with very generous donations, and former volunteer Leila Antakly who continues to corral support from her vast web of friends in support of Aziza's Place. Thank you Craig, Laura and Leila! Aziza's Place thrives as a result of the continued belief in our mission expressed through the financial support of our institutional and individual donors/partners.
With much gratitude,
Aziza's Place
