On July 25, 2009 a popular local newspaper issued one article about Korean students volunteered at Riverkids. We translated the article from Khmer into English as the following:
Phnom Penh: On 17-22/July/2009, a group of 18 Korean students from Republic of Korea led by COPION organization helped the children at Riverkids Foundation and the children at Phsa-touch village. Their charitable work included cleaning environment, planting, painting the wall, cooking food and providing school supplies and conducting some kinds of recreational activities with the children.
Miss. Sery Kim, The manager of COPION Organization from Korea said that the purposes of the Korean students came here to help Cambodian children, especially the children who live at the poor communities. She also said that, the children from Republic of Korea live at good condition but when they saw the children who live at difficult situation at this community, some of students go to school without shoes, dirty clothes, the Korean students felt shocked and very pity those children. When they saw these situations, they will try to find any ways to help Cambodian children more than this.
Mr. Phy Sophon, the Executive Director of Riverkids Foundation said that the activities of the volunteers showed about their compassion to Cambodian children who live at the poor communities. He added that before those children had no opportunity to go to school and neglected from the parents and communities. Now under support by Riverkids, they are able to go to school and get enough food. They have a chance to involve in re-creational activities such as sports, choir songs, break dancing, traditional dancing, studying English, computer etc. The lives of those children really have been improved from now.
Miss, Oh Su Jin, the team leader of volunteers said “we are so pleased to have a chance to work and play with these children. She continued that “Cambodian children and
Korean students are the same. we are Asian people, we have the same feeling and like the same family, so we should help each other. She added that “when we return to Korea, we will create a website to describe about the difficulty situation of Cambodian children in communities for Korean people and the world to know about those. We will organize other events to collect donation to help more Cambodian children.
