Clare McKinney Fundraiser 2024
Visit to Feeding Dreams Cambodia
In October 2024 Liz (FDUK Trustee) and Anne (FDUK Secretary) visited Feeding Dreams Cambodia (FDC).
In February 2024 Gill and Lynda, Chair and Treasurer of Feeding Dreams UK, visited FDC. The visit was an opportunity to connect in person with staff and pupils of FDC and to see the great work being done at the school. The trip was a huge success and we were able to meet all the staff; help purchase and deliver some educational resources for the school/ teachers and to work closely with them to discuss our ongoing support and how FDC and FDUK can work together to assist the most vulnerable children and families around Siem Reap. Whilst there we were also lucky enough to connect with Clare McKinney and Peter Flint, long-standing supporters of FDC who are UK and Australia Ambassadors respectively.
We spent most of our time with the Education Team, sharing and learning from each other, discussing ideas and purchasing resources to aid their teaching such as tablets and books. We were also able to accompany Clare and the Social Work Team to conduct a food and clothing drop to some of the poorest section of the local community. This assistance is invaluable to families who are living in the worst possible conditions on the bread line.
Our trip reinforced what we already knew: that there are so many children and families in Cambodia in desperate need of help and that education is a critical tool for breaking out of the cycle of poverty and enabling those children and their families to move forward in life. The ongoing support and financial assistance that international supporters can give via NGOs such as FDUK is of vital importance and every penny donated makes a huge difference. As ever, we left Cambodia more humbled than when we arrived and more determined to help them continue to make a difference.
Group Volunteering 2023
The School of Nursing and Midwifery - Edith Cowan University final-year nursing students. During their time with us, they helped our children with health check-ups and medical needs and also many of their families in the local slum communities. Thank you to this very special group of big-hearted people.
Also a group of yLead volunteers from Australia. Whilst with us, they visited one of the local slum communes that Feeding Dreams Cambodia supports and where also many of the children that attend FDC's free school programs attend. Our volunteer's hand packed food packs in the morning and in the afternoon distributed these food packs and some much needed clothes. It was a day full of many emotions but full of much hope and happiness too.
