Featured Project:

Kindergarten Support, Kampong Cham, Cambodia

St. Joseph Parish in the village of Kdol Leu is located on the banks of the Mekong River in the center of Cambodia. Fr. Alessandro Motti, PIME, works in this community, which has about 50 children who come to the parish's Kindergarten from nearby villages. It is the only Kindergarten in the village, and most of the children are from rural, disadvantaged homes.

Fr. Alessandro is looking for support to expand the program and create a space so their teachers can prepare classes, meet with parents, and store their supplies.
