Cambodian Children’s House of Peace is a registered Non-governmental
Organization (NGO),
located in Siem Reap, near the World Heritage Site,
Angkor Wat. CCHP serves poor children, primarily
from Siem Reap
province, the largest and poorest of the country. Some of the children
are orphans,
many have single parents who have many other children all
of whom face hunger and lack of schooling.I
had a great time volunteering at this children's home. They are a real
family from the youngest child through to the Director - Sathya Hem. I
hope anyone who reads this is inspired to go out and help them. If you
want to ask me about it please feel free to email me through the Contact
