July 2011 - ADDITIONAL FARM LAND FUNDED FOR SCD FARM
PGH was able to fund the purchase of 8 hectares of agricultural land in the Cambodian province Kompong Speur. Together with the 10 hectares already funded by SCD New York (Cormac Creed), SCD now owns 18 hectares of land for the growth of beans, soy, potatoes, other vegetables and fruit trees. A small farm house was built and a used tractor, funded by SCD New York, is used to work the land. During our last visit we visited the farm, walked the currently owned land, and could see the first potato crops already growing. Kompong Speur province is a beautiful rural part of Cambodia with clean air, and pristine tropical mountain chains surrounding vast stretches of rice fields. Together with the 6 hectares of farmland to grow rice in the Takeo province, SCD now owns 24 acres of farm land. It is anticipated that this land will feed the orphanage with its current 140 children, throughout the year.

It is PGH`s privilege to empower them and support their efforts.
Chan Norn
Co-Founder and Director of SCD Cambodia
Chan Norn was born into a simple farming family in the Takeo Province. Like most Cambodians, Norn’s family suffered very deeply during Khmer Rouge times. His brothers were abducted as child soldiers for many years and suffered horrible battle wounds and disabilities. One of his brothers never returned. His sisters and parents were forced into slavery and the deepest levels of poverty and hunger. Their story is a grim tale of loss and the incredible will to survive against all the odds. Chan spent thirteen years as a Buddhist monk in rural provinces where he encountered the devastating poverty of his broken land. He decided to leave the monastery and use his education to help the poor and become involved in rebuilding Cambodia. In 2005 he met Cormac Creed and soon after that partnered with him to found SCD. As co-founder and director of the orphanage, Chan Norn lives onsite with the children, and is responsible for the administration of SCD. With a staff of 13 and a few volunteers he manages the organization on a daily basis. Chan Norn has a great love for his country and is motivated by a deep compassion for its children and the elderly. These are the most vulnerable citizens in a poverty-stricken society that is still trying to recover from the wounds of genocide and war, with no help from its government.
Chan Norn`s staff of 15 Cambodian nationals.
In addition, volunteers stay at the orphanage periodically to teach English.
Cormac Creed
Co-Founder SCD
Cormac Creed lives in New York City and works in construction and real estate development. He is originally from Ireland, where he graduated with a Degree in Quantity Surveying and Construction Management before emigrating. He met Chan Norn in 2005 and together they started SCD with 39 children, and brought it to where it is today. He is also founder of SCD New York, a registered not-for-profit organization in New York, dedicated to providing financial support to SCD Cambodia and other charitable projects around the world.

Becoming a sponsor parent to a child is one great way to support PGH and its projects.
Sponsorship means you agree to provide annual recurring payments which helps to cover expenses for food, housing, clothing, medical care, and education for one child or several children.
Very little goes very far !
It is a very special thing for children to know someone far away cares about them. It motivates them to learn English so they can communicate with you. You can develop a personal relationship with your sponsored child, and even visit if you wish.
Visitors are most welcome ! You are encouraged to sponsor a party or a field trip for all the children, which will be organized by the staff, and which will be a truly enjoyable experience to you.
PGH administrates sponsorship for individual children, and sends you reminders for annual sponsorship renewals as well as written communication between you and your sponsored child .
Contact us if you are interested in the above.
Monetary donations are essential to provide the necessary kick-start for a project benefiting the welfare of those in need. In developing countries, MUCH can be done with very little !
PGH strives to implement funds to provide the basic requirements necessary for a human life with dignity: Food, shelter (housing), hygiene and medical care, stability and community, followed by education, and assistance to achieve self-reliance and independence from donations and NGOs.
When supporting PGH, you are assured that every Frank, Euro, or Dollar donated is applied directly to projects assisting those in need, and PGH will report to you what exactly could be accomplished with the help of your donation.
