CAMBODIA CHARITABLE TRUST NECKLACE CCTNECKLACE 2021 was been a real challenge for many including families in Cambodia. The Trust, is founded and led by the talented Denise Arnold. They are also supported by their amazing ambassador @helenclarknz. It does remarkable work to support education and basic needs for vulnerable children, especially girls, in Cambodia.You can help by donating rice to feed a family during the pandemic. We have also been helping by selling their gorgeous bike necklaces, of which 100% goes to the charity. The proceeds from each necklace purchases a bike for a child to ride to school. This empowers girls especially to attend school to end up with much better outcomes. Visit @thecambodiacharitabletrust or www.cctnz.org.nz to learn more about this wonderful charity, there is so much more there than I can say here. Cambodia is a nation in recovery from great trauma. Pol Pot and his communist Khmer Rouge movement led Cambodia from 1975 to 1979. During this dark reign, two to three million Cambodians out of a total population of seven to eight million died from execution, disease, starvation or overwork. Pol Pot’s vision was to create a nation of labourers; educated people and teachers were targeted and killed. The whole social structure of Cambodia was destroyed. A generation of leaders and teachers was lost. Education is vital for the rebuilding of Cambodia, and we feel compelled to support Cambodians in this transformative work.
