HAIMARK CARES Our core value is to positively impact the destinations where we operate through collaborations with reputable organizations that have proven themselves through hard work and visible success stories. The Future of Khmer Children Organization is a Cambodian-registered NGO (Non-Governmental Organization) led by Ms. Chantheany Leng (known to us, fondly, as Ms. Theany), in Siem Reap, Cambodia. Ms. Theany has collaborated with Haimark staff for a number of years, facilitating almost 100 fresh-water wells for families in need, in the rural areas around Siem Reap. You will often find her venturing into the countryside, meeting families, distributing rice and medical supplies, and ensuring families without clean water are placed on her priority list for wells. When not working on the freshwater well program, she is administering the local school owned and operated by FKC, teaching critical English, computer, and sewing skills to the children. Ms. Theaney s hard work in building FKC for the benefit of Cambodian children in her area deserves our respect and, most of all, our support. Through these collaborative efforts with FKC, Haimark makes a small, but beneficial impact on the destination, its people, and the future of Cambodia. For more information on FKC please visit: http://khmerchild.org/about-fkc/
