Our Cocktails For A Cause fundraiser last weekend raised more than $5000! We are just totalling up the final numbers but it’s clear we raised $5000+
This is simply amazing and will go a long way to funding the essential renovations at Samroang Yea Health Centre. Visit our Facebook page or our Website CFAC Album to view the pics of the night and to keep an eye out for our upcoming events.
We are super excited to let you know that we are now stocking and selling Who Gives A Crap toilet paper and tissues!
Message us for details, pricing and orders. All shop items will also soon be available online via our soon-to-be shop!
We want to give a massive shout out to our amazing friends at Rotary Club of Balwyn Inc. and Camberwell Sunday Market! We are thrilled to have been given four stalls this year and hope to raise loads of money for our work in Cambodia!
Dates are 5th March, 7th May, 17th September and 10th December.
The May stall will be ? BOOKS ? and the others general treasure!
Happy days Xxx
Here’s 5 ways you can feel good and maximise your happiness by giving back, based on research summarised in the book Science of Giving: An Experimental Approach to the Study of Charity.
1. Give to a specific project – we have LOTS to choose from!
2. Give smaller amounts more frequently – like $3 a week for Coffee Club to build houses or $1.50 a week for our mothers and babies “First 1000 Days” program.
3. Give with no strings attached – easy! We are open and transparent so you won’t need strings!
4. Give when you know exactly who your donation will help – we spend EVERY CENT exactly where it was donated to be used.
5. Give publicly, don’t hide it – be loud and proud! Others will follow!
“The first 1000 days lasts a lifetime”
We are proud to launch our “First 1000 Days” program:
In reviewing the evidence about what works and what’s needed to ensure children have the best possible start in life, we have put a program together to address needs during the vital first 1000 days of life (from conception until a child’s second birthday).
Huge thanks to our very clever friend Jo for doing all the heavy lifting by researching and developing this vital program for us!
Our main areas of focus will be:
? INVESTING in the ‘partnership’ between a mother and her child – the first and best step in ensuring healthy children, prosperous families and strong communities.
? Providing access and support for the “LIFESAVING” SIX:
• Iron / Folate
• Breastfeeding
• Complementary feeding
• Vitamin A
• Zinc
• Hygiene
? KEEPING GIRLS IN SCHOOL – better educated girls have fewer, healthier, better nourished babies.
We are putting the elements together and will start working on this program in July. If you’re keen to help, we would love to hear from you!
