1. January 25th, Family Care Cambodia hosted a visit from 4 members of the Mira Scholars team. Mira Scholars has raised funding to sponsor uniforms and a student teacher’s salary for our volunteer village school, and to install internet for our IT training program at a Rescue Shelter. On this visit the team accompanied us to Kampong Speu province to a volunteer village school where they assisted in a creative arts class.
We went from there back to Phnom Penh Thmey where we spent the afternoon with the girls at CCPCR rescue shelter. Mira Team member, Antonia, led a beading workshop. The girls learned how to make lovely bracelets, hair clips and necklaces from beads and wires. It was great fun and the finished products were immediately put to use! We are continuing to train a small team of the older girls in making chains and beaded jewelry which hopefully can serve as a vocational skill and potential source of income in the future. Many thanks to Sara Ortega and the Mira Scholars!
