In April 2024, SI Chester hosted a 10 day visit for 6 members of SI Phnom Penn. A training day was organised and the ladies from Cambodia presented an interesting presentation on the work they are involved in.
One of their endeavours was to provide educational materials for school children and members of SI Rhyl & District contributed to the purchase of these items. During their stay, we took them on a tour of North Wales, followed by an evening meal.
In July 2024 we received the following message from SI Phnom Penh:-
“July 13, 2024, marks as a fruitful day for Soroptimist International (SI) Phnom Penh members, bringing school materials and food for distributing to more than 200 students of Beoung Trav Primary School, Kang Meas District, Kompong Cham Province. Additionally, we donated USD 100 for the school renovation. The shining smiles and absolute delight of both students and teachers touched us profoundly. These educational materials symbolize the core values of SI that we believe education is the pivotal force for empowering women and girls to create a brighter future.
We also thank members of SI Rhyl, North Wales, United Kingdom who contributed money for the activity.”
