Cambodia

Sports Programme:

During the last several months, we have been able to conduct sports lessons with our kids near their homes, while maintaining hygiene rules and social distancing. It is important that our students are still receiving physical education during these times, keeping both their bodies and minds active and healthy. We were also able to officially kick off our Goals for Girls project, supporting about 25 girls, bringing them together for a series of leadership workshops on the soccer pitch. The response to the project has been very positive, and we look forward to expanding it once restrictions are lifted!

 HHC Project

Schools in Cambodia shut down in March due to the pandemic, but thankfully, our team able to visit our students at home to provide individual lessons, making sure to keep their health and wellbeing at the forefront. The Covid-19 numbers in Cambodia have remained low, and the government allowed schools to reopen recently, meaning HHC has been able to re-open its doors! We are currently teaching classes Monday through Thursday, and we are so glad to be seeing our students smiling faces again!

Peru

Picaflor House: The lock-down in Peru has loosened significantly. However, the government is still not reopening schools or allowing children to travel far from their homes, meaning Picaflor House cannot yet reopen. But since our staff has more flexibility, we are still able to assist our students in what ways we can.

We have identified the families of Picaflor who have been hardest hit economically by the pandemic and will be gathering produce and other food items to deliver to them. Many are single mothers or households where one or both parents have lost their jobs due to the situation, and we want to make sure they have the access to healthy meals that the students would otherwise have at Picaflor House.

PAWS: With our last update, we reported that many street dogs in Cusco were suffering due to restaurant closures throughout the city. Many dogs rely on these restaurants for daily scraps, and without them, they have few other places to turn to for food. During that time, we stepped in and provided street dogs with daily food. We are glad to report that some restrictions have been lifted in Peru’s strict quarantine, and restaurants are open again! This means that street dogs without families can be fed by restaurants with scraps, somewhat relieving the stress of their situation. In the meanwhile, we still continue to provide food and care to the street dogs within our immediate reach in our local community.

Thank you for taking the time to read our update, and as always, thank you for your continued, invaluable support. If you would like to donate, and we hope you do, please visit our page to do so!
