Sallo's Birthday Wish Came True! Plus More Good News!

Exciting news to share thanks to our generous supporters + other good news from the organisation and our projects!

Dear Friends,

We were astounded by your response to my birthday wish. You made my birthday wishes come true, and so much more!

Urgent needs are appearing all the time as SouthEast Asia reels from economic impacts, more severe local COVID outbreaks and armed conflicts. Our whole team is working very hard to keep pace with the developments and see how needs can be met.

We support partners who give humanitarian aid in conflict areas, but much of that aid cannot be made public. If you wish to help, please let us know, and we can discuss the needs and situations directly.

In all these new developments, we keep working hard to support our existing projects with funds so they can continue their vital work uninterrupted.

Since our organisation focuses on putting diverse stepping stones in place to help people go from poverty to opportunity, it presents a challenge to communicate that approach visually. So we asked our frequent volunteer Anna Pierrot, a French graphic artist living in Asia, to help us develop that concept into an image (included at the top of this email).

We think she did a fantastic job illustrating PCF's goal to support people in their complex journeys from poverty to opportunity.

Because All Children Should Have Equal Opportunities

Young Alang lives in a very remote village where Thai is not the native language. In school, he and his friends don't understand their teachers because they teach in Thai.

Traditionally, many of them would drop out of school, continuing the cycle of poverty... That is why we support this innovative and dynamic educational programme that employs local teachers to teach in the local language alongside the Thai teachers - ensuring students learn their subjects while also becoming fluent in Thai.

Alang is just one of 570 children in four remote schools in this project supported by PCF

Thanks to Ban Adri – Stichting Welzijn Zuid-Oost Azië and the Brodtbeck Philanthropy Foundation for their continued support for this critically important project! Read More
