Transform Cambodia

 Transform Cambodia is the Christian NGO that I volunteer for. Here is the opening statement on their website. You should visit it - http://www.transformcambodia.com/

"On any one day there are over 15,000 young children working or living on the streets of Cambodia, scraping a living from scavenging, begging or selling.  They have no education or hope for the future. Transform Cambodia gives them not just hope, but a guaranteed bright future.

At Transform we feed and educate them, and train them to become leaders of Cambodia's future.  We currently operate eleven Life Centres which transform the lives of 100 children each - all staffed by Khmer nationals, and are on target to add 500 children every year.  We are passionate about this country, and the opportunity we have to make such a huge difference. "

I don't actually work with the children though! I teach English to all of the cooks and housekeepers from all of the different centers. About 14 students ages 19-50.
