Have a Heart For Cambodia - HAHFC

Have a Heart For Cambodia - HAHFC Have a Heart for Cambodia is a registered Australian
charity, first established in late 2015. 'Have A Heart For Cambodia' is a registered Charity.

A trip back to his homeland after 35 years with my Cambodian born husband and a meeting with amazing groups of volunteers working to better the lives of disadvantaged Cambodian children, led to a vision for Victorian students and their school communities.. ODA (Opportunities of Development Through Art)It was first set up by Leng Touch who had himself witnessed his father killed by the Khmer Rouge

. He was fortunate to be saved by an aunt and uncle enabling him to go to school and study the Fine Arts. Wanting to ‘give back’, he set up a home for children who, like himself, had been left orphaned after the dreaded Killing Fields. However, ODA has now grown to something far greater. In response to the needs of so many disadvantaged Cambodian children, ODA has expanded its mission setting up and running seven free English night schools for around 700 students from poor farming families from outlying villages out of Siem Reap. FLAME CAMBODIA in Phnom Penh works tirelessly with families in the slums, raising funds for their children to escape lives of working in the rubbish dumps or collecting rubbish from the streets of this big, busy city to gain an education and a future. Our mission is to 'make a difference to the lives of disadvantaged Cambodian children. To raise an awareness of the lives they live and and funds to enable them to gain an education and .a future.'

Our bi-annual 'Victoria-Wide Exhibition of Schools Art' is our major fundraiser. We encourage school communities to 'leap on board' and support this huge Event and help us make a difference to the lives of children in a country not far from our own.. Director: Julie Lach

🚨 Urgent humanitarian support needed; Thai–Cambodia Border

Buy a bag of rice. Ensure a displaced family eats.

Families displaced by escalating border tensions between Thailand and Cambodia are currently being transported to safety near the ODA farm, around an hour outside of Siem Reap. Many are now living with no shelter, sleeping under plastic along roadsides and around a local pagoda.

These families have fled their homes with nothing. There is no way for them to earn income, and no certainty around how long it will be before stability returns and they can safely go home. While border friction in this region has existed for generations, the current intensity and duration is deeply concerning.

ODA founder, Leng, is coordinating immediate support by providing bags of rice to help meet basic food needs, and you can help....

💛 One 10kg bag of rice costs $4
💛 Every contribution helps a displaced family eat

If you are able to assist these currently homeless families in any way, please contact us directly or donate via our website www.odaopportunitiescambodia.org. Even small acts of generosity can make a meaningful difference during this uncertain and tragic time.

Thank you for standing with vulnerable families when they need it most.
