On Saturday, June 22nd, Meg is opening The Heart Center for an 8-hour Sit-for-Cambodia to raise awareness and funds to support the children of non-profit school ABC's & Rice. We'd love to have your sponsorship and/or welcome you to sit with us! Sign-up here to snag a spot for sitting + keep reading to learn more. Heart Center is taking retreats and yogic study to the next level, by studying and practicing the karmic path or path of selfless service. This year we are focusing our efforts on supporting ABC's & Rice, a non-profit school and community center in the Siem Reap province of Cambodia. In October 2024, twenty heartlings will travel to Siem Reap to volunteer directly at the school.
ABC's & Rice offers free education, nutrition and healthcare to children of Siem Reap, Cambodia. At times, it is also a safe-haven for children otherwise vulnerable to child labour, neglect and in some cases abuse. Often families will struggle to send all or some of their children to school due to overbearing poverty, especially in the villages. In some instances economics outweigh their desire for their children to be educated. ABC's & Rice understands this challenge and works with the local village chiefs to target the families in the most need by offering them a place at the school. This in turn gives the family access to the rice program. ABCs and Rice takes a holistic view of education and community empowerment. Read more at their website: abcrice.org.
Feel free to join us in any way you can to make this a Heart to heart connection between Milwaukee and Siem Reap. If you want to participate in the sit, sign-up here or email directly. If you wish to sponsor our sit, your donations are welcome and will support our greater goal of fundraising $10,000 for ABC's & Rice. Funds may be directed to our give butter page, https://givebutter.com/Heart2Cambodia.
