A local newspaper, Rakmey Kampuchea issued an article of Family Day organized by Riverkids and Volunteers from RJC, Singapore

Riverkids Foundation (RKF) organized a Family Day under the sponsorship from RJC Project on the 29 November, 2007. A group of twenty-four Singaporean college students have been on their oversea service learning program to support a poor community in Phnom Penh Cambodia which is presently under the project of RKF.

Mr. Phy Sophorn, executive director of RKF, said on the Family Day that the students have been staying close in the Psa Toch village Toul Sangke commune Phnom Penh where they have voluntarily working for humanity with approximately 100 vulnerable children at high risk of being trafficked, drug addiction and domestic violence. “They are working very closely with the children through sport training, playing game, and music and so on” Mr. Sophorn added.

Mr. Goh Ann Tat, teacher from RJC, said on that day that he led his students to Cambodia purposefully to share and exchange experience as well as to learn about real life of the poor community in Cambodia which is the neighbor of Singapore. He said, “We have been here for over one week and we have learned a lot about these vulnerable children.”

All the twenty-four students arrived in Phnom Penh on 20 November, 2007 and will fly back to Singapore on the 7 December, 2007.

Riverkids Foundation, a Singaporean based NGO founded by a Singaporean couple who once came to Cambodia to adopt Cambodian children in 2001. It has been running the project to help approximately 100 children who are identified as at high risk of sexual and labor exploitation.
