Our New Logo

Picture1

We now have a new logo for the Wat Opot Children’s Community. I have been trying to design something on my own for several months but nothing ever seemed to work. I really wanted to impress the American Ambassador when she visited our place for THE BIG EVENT but with only three weeks to prepare, it seemed hopeless. And than, like an answer to Prayer, the Universe sent us Agathe Troussel, a graphic designer from France, and within a few days she accomplished what I had not been able to do. The Khmer letters spell “Sahacom” or Community in English.

TEE SHIRT BACK

T-Shirts were printed with the logo on the front and this quote from Gail’s article in the Kyoto Journal on the back. They drew a lot of attention from the guest and one of the shirts would even have been presented to the Ambassador… had she stayed around long enough to receive it.

Flags

We even have our own flag now and it flies right below the flag of the USA.

Thanks Agathe for sharing yourself and your talents with us. We wish you all the best as you continue your travels through South America. Hasta luego!

The very First Art of Living Workshop in Cambodia was held at the Wat Opot Children’s Community. Mr. Timothy Wong, who is an international coordinator and faculty member of the Art of Living Foundation, lead the workshop with several of our children.

The program was free of charge and our children enjoyed it so much that Mr. Timothy drove all the way out from Phnom Penh for two additional days of teaching.

The Art of Living Course gives participants the practical knowledge and techniques to unlock their deepest potential and brings about a fullness of Life.

One World Family 4

We consider it an honor to a part of the ONE WORLD FAMILY in Cambodia and look forward to future workshops and opportunities of joining others in creating a violence-free, stress free Global Family.
