We came across a mum with her four little ones at the end of a really isolated dirt track who were living in absolutely terrible conditions. Separated from her husband, her family lives in a very basic one room dirt floor structure on land owned by someone else.

We had an enthusiastic gang of willing volunteers help out throughout the day with making and selling an array of delicious temptations.

Coming from a desperately poor family in rural Cambodia, Ponleu's parents work as farm labourers, doing very long hours seven days a week for a meagre wage of just five dollars per day

Such a fantastic outcome all round. This will have a massive impact in the communities we support.

Torrential rain and 100km/h winds this afternoon didn't deter my daughter and two of her best friends from going ahead with a fundraiser that they planned some weeks ago.

I have some encouraging news about the amazing response we received to the matching funding campaign we conducted for our Cambodia projects.

We had a fantastic night on Saturday at our family home celebrating another amazing year with our Cambodia humanitarian projects at our annual general meeting and dinner.

I have some terrific and important news to share with you about our Cambodia projects that reflects the tireless dedication of our on ground teams in both Andong slum village and remote Oddar Meanchey.

I have some fantastic news to share with you about the appeal we put out earlier in the month to garner support for an urgent re-roof of the Oddar Meanchey House of Hope.

A quick shout out to our band of dedicated volunteers who pitched in with the recent Kangaroo Island Racing carnival clean-ups.

Our tireless mentors had to travel on foot to the nearest market to keep the meals up to our hungry teenage boarders, including lugging 20kg bags of rice on their backs.

I'm delighted to be able to announce that the tally topped nearly $4,000 at the end of the day, which is a fantastic result and will have a huge impact in Andong and Oddar Meanchey villages.

This kind gesture resulted in nearly $300 being raised to help us continue to deliver a free education and meals to 1,200 children from some of the poorest families on the planet.

I have a really uplifting and miraculous story from an extremely remote corner of Cambodia that is home to some of the most impoverished families on the planet.

A very successful fundraising initiative by my ten year old daughter Mia and a couple of her good friends, Bonita and Aleeya Holman.

As we counted down the weeks towards the end of the financial year, I thought I should sit down and crunch the numbers and see if we were getting anywhere in the ballpark of the $50,000 target.

We held our Kangaroo Island Supporting Cambodia AGM last Saturday night which is always a fantastic occasion as we reflect on the amazing achievements of the past 12 months.

I hosted a trip to Cambodia for a small group of our project supporters last month to reconnect with our teams over there after a four year absence.

This amount of money will keep eight teachers in the classrooms of our two schools where 1200 underprivileged kids receive a free education and meals for a whole month.

Each family received a 50kg bag of rice and an assortment of tuna, eggs, soy milk and sauces.
