Friendship with Cambodia has been active since 1992, initially through collaboration between Bhavia Wagner and Valentina DuBasky. Bhavia and Valentina led a tour to Cambodia in 1994 and were UN observers during the national election in 1998. Since then they have given hundreds of talks, interviews and written articles about Cambodia. In 2002, Soul Survivors - Stories of Women and Children in Cambodia by Bhavia (author) and Valentina (photographer) was published.
On September 27, 2003 Friendship with Cambodia was incorporated as a non-profit. Since then, Friendship has continued the good work begun by Bhavia and Valentina. We have helped landmine victims and poor women in Cambodia market their handicrafts in the US. We started a student sponsorship program so bright young people can attend school in Cambodia. And Friendship has led several trips to Cambodia.
Friendship with Cambodia was inspired by the charitable humanitarian work of Mother Teresa, Mata Amritanandamayi (Amma), Thich Nhat Hanh and Maha Ghosananda. We choose to focus on Cambodia because the need there is so great.
Please join us in our effort to offer kindness.
We are a 501(c)(3) organization and all donations are tax-deductible.
