Summer Dresses!

Hello! It's been a long while since I last wrote for Riverkids Project.
After a long semester of books and lectures, I finally got myself to start managing the shop in time for the summer.

The Riverkids Etsy Shop is now chock full of dresses perfect for celebrating the onset of summer. These dresses are made by our own Bright Girls and are great for the summer sun because they are mostly made from lightweight cotton. Cotton is great because it absorbs perspiration easily and it dries quickly after a wash.

Part of the sales proceeds goes back to the seamstress (one of our Bright Girls) who made the dress, and the rest of the money goes right back into funding Riverkids Project.

So, do visit the Riverkids Etsy shop for 2 great causes - Riverkids Project and the summer!

Riverkids Project on Facebook!

Hello everybody!
It's been a long time since I wrote because I'm so absolutely busy with university work - whoever said undergraduate work is a breeze was lying.

Anyway, like most undergraduates, I have a Facebook account and I use it to connect with my schoolmates. I am a Facebook addict and I can log on to it many times a day. (Dreadful, I know.)

One thing I like about Facebook is the Cause application. I started a cause page for Riverkids Project on Facebook. We would love it if you helped to tell your friends about us and what we do to help the kids in the slums of Phnom Penh. This would really help us in getting more publicity and help from other people. Of course, donations are still very much welcome. *grin* Donations can be made through the cause page and Blue Tide Foundation will forward the money to us (since we're not listed in America as a charitable organisation and Blue Tide Foundation is).
Or just help by telling your friends about us. Any help is very much appreciated.

If you're on Facebook and would very much like to help us (and you do have the Causes application in your profile page), do a search for "Riverkids Project" and you will find us. Alternatively, you can add me on Facebook (do a search for "Therese M Chan") and I'll lead you to the Riverkids Project cause page.

Next up, the Riverkids Etsy shop! New items up on it by the end of October, I promise!
