ODA Advisory (ODAA) is pleased to be able to make a financial donation, through One Tomorrow Charitable Fund, to Opportunities of Development thru Art, (ODA) in Cambodia. Cambodia demographically is a young Country, with 60% of the population under the age of 25 years.
The provision of schooling, especially in outlying villages of Siem Reap is a high priority, and Opportunities of Development thru Art (ODA) is doing great work in this area.
ODA currently operates 8 free schools for 1450 children, helping to create opportunities to learn new language and technology skills, to provide greater employment opportunities for these children.
ODA doesn’t receive Government support and relies on Donations to advance their work. ODA Advisory’s donation is being matched dollar for dollar by One Tomorrow Charitable Fund. Mr Leng Touch, Founder Director of Opportunities of Development thru Art, said “Village families are becoming aware that life is changing and education is now very important.
They are very grateful for the support that flows on to their children through donations from the likes of ODA Advisory.”
Ron Thomsen, Managing Director of ODAA, said that he and the Board recognise the need and are happy to provide assistance to ODA.
This donation is consistent with a focus of supporting charities who address the needs of children, especially where the number of children to benefit is large and growing. Ron and fellow ODAA Director, Gail Ransley, have had opportunity to visit the ODA Centre at Siem Reap, to see the work being advanced first hand.
