About

Hello! My name is Susana and I live in Portugal. My name is Susana Garrett Pinto, I'm 36 and I'm Portuguese. Since I remember, I love to work as a volunteer helping disadvantaged people, especially children. I?ve been in India twice, as a volunteer, and on March 2015 I went to Cambodia for the same reason. Once there, doing volunteer work in a small community, I realized that the way I was helping it would never change their lives. The fact is that when I come back to Portugal again, all those people would continue to live in a situation of extreme poverty. At that point, I decided to create Teach How to Fish volunteers project. Our main ambition, for now, is to help to create better living conditions for children, and their families, and we started at Chen Raom village, a small village in Siem Riep, helping 106 children and 10 families. Earlier this year, in January, I stayed 2 weeks in the village and started the project: improvement of school infrastructure, survey the wills and needs of the families, the local guidelines, and now we already have the project new version with some new goals. Thank you. Know more at www.facebook.com/teachhowtofish

Donating to an Orphanage by john cockburn

Hi Expats We were wondering what the best way to make a donation to an orphanage in Cambodia would be. We know about dodgy orphanages and the corruption involved so how can we be sure our money goes to the children that need it most? Thanks John ...

Hello. In TEACH How to Fish project, we believe that the best philanthropy is the one that seeks to end the system that perpetually generates the need for more philanthropy. Volunteers are fueling the growth of orphanages in Cambodia, and ... Read More
