The Season of givivng has begun..

If YOU have lightly used, kids' clothes, taking up space in your garage
or closet, please box them up & donate them to the children of Cambodia. Read on...

LITTLE ANGELS School (see attached photo) is an open-air, one room pavilion that provides educational & vocational training to orphans & poor children in Rolous, Cambodia (SW of Siem Reap).

The children (aged 5 -- 18) sit on mats on the floor, they use slices of logs as 'desks'. The walls are plastic sheets. The primitive conditions don't stop the kids from learning English,
math, reading & traditional Khmer leather carving 'paintings' of classical Cambodian landscapes & Apsara dancers... which are sold to visitors in the school's tiny art gallery. Each child artist receives 100% of the sale price of his/her painting to help to feed her/himself.

Some of the kids bring their young siblings to school (age 2 -- 4), so they also get the free meal (boiled rice)... otherwise, when the kids stay home, they have to work... even at 5 or 6 years, so many go without any food.

If YOU have lightly used, kids' clothes, taking up space in your garage
or closet, please box them up & donate them to the children of Cambodia.

The kids need shorts, pants, tops, t-shirts, long sleeved polo shirts, overalls, casual dresses (smocks), skirts, sneakers, sandals, socks, light sweaters. No fancy dresses or winter clothes. Sizes 2 years to 12 years. No 6X, Cambodian children are small.

Send the box to:

LENG TEK
040 National Road 6
Salakanseng Village
Svay Dangkum Commune
Siem Reap, CAMBODIA

WRITE on the outside of the box (on 2 sides in large print):
(855) 12 714 790

There's no mail delivery in Cambodia, so the PO will call Tek on his
cell phone to pick up the mail at the Post Office.

You can send up to 20 lb. via Priority Mail International for $53.95 or $51.25
if you print the postage ((via the USPS website) from your computer. The USPS 'large box' is 12" x 12" x 5.5". A medium box is about $12 less for 20 lb.

You have to fill out a small, green US CUSTOMS form at the PO, stating the contents as: 'USED kids CLOTHES -- GIFT'.

The children will be grateful that people in other lands are helping them to stay in school. Learning English will help the children get jobs in the tourist industry, which can lift their ENTIRE FAMILY OUT OF POVERTY.

The Khmer Rouge reign of horror lasted 20 years, during which time 2 MILLION Cambodians (teachers, doctors, nurses, the middle class) were murdered in a holocaust that destroyed 20% of the entire population... that was just 13 years ago, so Cambodia is still rebuilding... Recent world economic trends
have devastated the tourist industry... Guides that used to donate food to Little Angels are now struggling to feed their own families...

Any help you can provide is appreciated. Please help.
