"It is a blessing that land, building materials, and labor are cheap and abundant in Cambodia. Our dream is to build a new center and create an orphanage-owned manufacturing facility to benefit more children. The Fred Waring Foundation is seeking to raise $500,000-an amount that is equivalent to sending four or five American students to college."

The Proposed New Center will:

• Accommodate the housing of up to 1000 orphans while employed at the center
• Accept children form other crowded orphanages
• Be outfitted with state of the art water purification systems and have proper plumbing and sewage treatment.
• Have designated lands for farming including ponds for fish and livestock housing
• Have greenhouses to grow pesticide-free foods
• Create a productive learning environment for the children that provides decent housing, wages, and an inspiration to achieve and have success in their lives

Long-term Benefits of a New Center & Manufacturing Facility

• Offer transitional support and counseling to the older children
• Help decrease teenage drug use, crime, and prostitution.
• Help break the cycle of child abandonment and poverty.
• Instill confidence and pride through group participation in a successful business enterprise

Increased corporate in-kind donations* will:

• Outfit a first-aid station to provide basic medical care.
• Improve nutrition through supplements.
• Bring joy to children with gifts of toys and activities
• Reduce malnourishment.
• Prevent skin infections and disease.

* Due to freight issues and Cambodia's poor infrastructure, only specifically requested in-kind donations can be accepted.
