Cambodia's Ministry of Womens Affairs, I love training here....
Today was great, the students started cutting and they are loving it!
I sat and talked to the girls about their aspirations, and where they hope this training will lead them. It was great to hear that already what they have learned can be used in the upcoming bridal season from November- April and then into the Khmer New Year. This makes me very happy.
My translator tells me that women sit waiting (due to lack of stylists) for hours to have their hair upstyled for a wedding; I am beaming with this news; our timing is good!

stop orphanage tourism
Stop Orphanage Tour
THINK!:
We believe the best way for tourists and travelers to support vulnerable children and their families is to support vocational training and community based initiatives, rather than visiting an orphanage directly. At the heart of our belief is prioritizing the protection of children and keeping Cambodian families together. Have a think about the following:

- A child's right to privacy Under international law, children in orphanages have the same rights as children across the globe to have a safe and private home setting. Short-term orphanage visits from tourists and travelers lowers a child's privacy inside their own home. Additionally, reports show that short-term visits can cause harm to a child's development and emotional wellbeing. We think everyone agrees that children need safety, privacy and stability.
