Hello all! This blogshop of sorts is finally up!yay! Well, I'll use this post to explain my cause okay? I went to Siem Reap,Cambodia last year, for a service trip with the school, and the state in which the children there lived really moved me. Their classrooms had no electricity or even a proper toilet! Some had big houses, but inside was not a sight to behold. Shoddy building and cramped living quarters were a common sight and children, as young at 9(?) were already working labour-intensive jobs to help their family make ends meet. Some younger looking ones were roped into begging syndicates which used their innocent image to get tourists to part with their money. Studying in school is seen by many, as a waste of time.Such is the nature of their lives. This year, the school is planning to bring 30 selected students from all three Uniformed Groups to Cambodia again. I am REALLY eager to go, but my chances of going this year is really slim as i have been going overseas for volunteer for for 2 consecutive years. So this shop is a way for me to contribute, if i cannot go there this year, the money i earn will go to the children there in the form of a donation. However, if i am given to opportunity to go, but will have to pay for my own plane ticket, then I will use the money for that purpose. I hope you understand that I have good intentions, and I want to make a practice of giving part of my earnings to charity. So support my cause and fill your tummy at the same time! its a win-win situation =D Ayeshah
