After 2 years of Covid, KFCO was finally able to throw a launch party in Phnom Penh on December 28 of last year, which was timed with patron Li-Da Kruger’s trip to Cambodia from the UK.
Despite a short lead up time, it was a great success. Our country Director Po-Thai Kin and Li-Da presented and introduced our mission and activities. About 100 people came – including locals, adoptees, friends, press and active members of our project already. Although it was more of a soft launch and introduction to DNA, we managed to test 5 new participants searching for family and to raise $1,147 USD. Every little bit counts!
Thank you to everyone who made this evening possible – including our generous DNA sponsor MyHeritage, private donors, sponsors/partners for the event itself (Wonderpass, TADA, Friends Future Factory), Sum Savdey &Boran House for sponsoring us with some drinks and of course DJLarry Zinc for the music! And last but not least our sister charity DNACambodia and hard working Phnom Penh volunteer representative, Chanserey Sothea.
