Phnom Penh: A group of students from Singapore Management University (SMU) in Singapore came to distribute stationery such as bags, books, pens, pencils and rubbers to the slum children. The students also taught those children how to make kites, and photo-frames. Moreover, they led the kids to play other entertainment games and sports to make them feel loved at Riverkids Foundation.
Mr. Oliver Chan Yin Bin, the team leader of the SMU students said that 26 of them came to Riverkids Foundation with a humanity mission. They led the kids to make kites, photo-frames and other entertainment items so that the kids will enjoy the warmth that they are showering upon them.
The group also combined their funds to buy some stationery for the kids so that they would go to school like other children. Oliver also said that he came to Riverkids Foundation last year and shared Riverkids’ mission to stop child exploitation and labour abuse to his friends back in Singapore. Then, they decided to come back again with the mission to improve the situation of the vulnerable children, especially to support them in schooling.
Mr. Phy Sophon, Director of Riverkids Foundation was really happy that we can have oversea volunteers from SMU to spend quality time with the kids. At the end of the activities, the confidence of the kids is raised and they feel valued and loved by those around them.
