USAID furniture donation

Mr Sophon wrote to several agencies and embassies in Phnom Penh earlier this year to introduce Riverkids. We started out so tiny and basic that we've just come to what most NGOs start with, grant applications.

Two people from USAID came by and visited Riverkids Alexandra. Mr Sophon and I showed them around and they asked quite a few questions then said they'd let us know.

We were delighted when a few weeks later they donated a collection of second-hand furniture. Staff were sharing office chairs and working on the tiny coffeetable with files stacked up on a bookcase, and the five office chairs, a desk, two big filing cabinets and best of all - a second computer!

Thanks USAID!
