Drawing Picture Competition Ceremony

Phnom Penh: A drawing picture competition ceremony was held up by Hosea Ministry in order to encourage children who are neglected, homeless and victims of violence and drug addicted to participate in this significant art activity. The pictures had to be about "domestic violence" or "drug impact and addiction". There were many children from different organizations in Cambodia attending the program.



Meanwhile, Riverkids Foundation was one of the local NGOs that were allowed to have its children for the competition. Riverkids' 10 children were selected to join in this drawing activity having their 10 drawn-out pictures. As the result, one of them, Pil Soksan had the best picture for the 3rd top rank. He was awarded for his nice picture which was about drug addiction and its impact to his community.

"I am so proud of the children here, in the ceremony," said Mr. David, Director of Hosea Ministry. "This participation shows that the slum children really can do like other children, and we strongly support them with our best to get on involved and improve their self-esteems."

Pil Soksan murmured, "I am... erm...very...happy to get the prize. I just drew it for fun". All of the best selected pictures maintained as documents by Hosea Ministry and then they would be printed as picture profile for children in Hosea's library.
