Appreciation From The Founder of Colors of Cambodia

Presenting this awards to you all, because it's not belongs to me aone, its for all of you!!! I can't express enough of my gratitude to the people who have helped and support me in the Colors of Cambodia project ~ fund raising event, exhibition, sponsorship program, contribution in art materials and etc etc... all these will not work out without you.

In 2007, In Siem Reap, I saw "Art Will Save The World" at street 11. I stepped into Colors of Cambodia art gallery, fascinated by how the Cambodian children create their art and wondered about how art can save the world.

I send an email to the founder Bill Gentry, met him in Singapore, inspired by him! I then revisited Siem Reap. Since then I started to make many life decisions, explored and learned different life lessons. All these have played a big part to get to where I am right now.

My heartfelt thank goes to people who has inspired, motivated and challenged me in my life along this journey. 

I am looking at this plaque given by the founder of Colors of Cambodia again and again....I smile and read the wording, I still can't believe it!

I have no words to express my gratitude to

Bill Gentry

for given me the great opportunity to be part of Colors of Cambodia! Bill is the man who inspired me in many ways, especially Art will save the world!
