Impact Experiences at the Smiling Gecko Campus
Would you like to join the Smiling Gecko family in Cambodia for a few weeks? Thanks to our new ‘Helping Hands’ offer, this will soon be possible!
A Song of Hope
Songs have always been part of life at the Smiling Gecko Campus, as they help to give hope and overcome sadness. ‘Tomorrow’ is one such song. We recorded it at the Gong and then illustrated it.
Smiling Gecko is now also in Singapore
Although Singapore is the smallest country in Southeast Asia, it is one of the region’s financial giants. This is why Smiling Gecko now has its own office there.
A Grand performance at the National Stadium
The talented Smiling Gecko Singers were invited to perform at this year’s Cambodian Football League finals. It wasn’t just the Deputy Prime Minister who was impressed, either.
Half open, fully embraced
The construction of our new school building has been challenging, but we were delighted to open part of it this summer, much to the joy of our pupils.
Systematically Promoting Reading
Being able to read and understand complex texts is one of the core skills, even in rural Cambodia, where access to education is limited. For this, we’ve now launched our own program.
Events in support of Smiling Gecko
In October and November there will be a number of public events to raise funds for Smiling Gecko. We have the dates and locations.
Sounds good, Does good
The new recording and podcast studios at the Gong will help us give Cambodia its voice back. Our kids have already been there to make test recordings.
The dentists are back on the Campus
For the third time, a team from the University of Zurich visited us to treat our children. We asked them about their experience and whether they saw any progress in the little patients.
Impressions from the first day of school
School has started again in Cambodia. A joyful occasion that makes us think about the future prospects of the younger and older children. We are convinced: they have good chances!
Yoga at the Smiling Gecko Campus
Themed ‘Body, Soul & Mind’, a yoga charity retreat will be held at the Farmhouse Resort & Spa from 21-26 October 2020. Click on the article for more details.
A voice for Cambodia
We are opening our new cultural centre “The Gong” on 28 June with a big celebration over several days. Here is some background information about the planned event and of course about the building.
