Almost exactly one year ago, Kelli and I were heading to Cambodia together. The result was much hilarity (click the video), but also a lot of eye-opening to the realities of poverty in this area of the world. For the last 5 years, I have worked with an organization called Freedom's Promise. We work to empower the people of Cambodia by partnering with local organizations to provide education opportunities, health care, vocational training, and much more.
One of my main projects is working on a fair trade initiative with the girls in a tailoring program of ours. We have been growing slowly and steadily over the past few years, and I am SO EXCITED to begin to share more of that with you!!
Over the next few weeks, I will be traveling between our various projects throughout the country, so stay tuned for more updates about the work that is being done here in Cambodia!
*also, more blogs will be forthcoming about Jonathan and my honeymoon adventures through India, Cambodia, and Thailand :)
