BUILDING A SCHOOL: CAMBODIA
Sambour, Cambodia, near the Angor Wat temples, is a forgotten community that is sidelined from all social, educational, economic and public health infrastructure. The existing school, is a one room shack built of branches; most walls are missing. The school is on the verge of collapse. We Care Cambodia, is the sponsor of this project. Their first goal is to rebuild the school, and help this village through education. Sunday Afternoons is helping in this effort. We invite you, to join us in this important work.

THE FAMILY NURTURING CENTER
The Family Nurturing Center is a non-profit program, born from community need and created by a community that cares about its children and families. They are a child neglect and abuse prevention and intervention program designed for high-risk families with children from birth to age five. The FNC was created in 2006 in response to the growing number of child abuse victims. From a small beginning in one room where four children were served, they have grown to a staff of 21 professionals who have served over 400 children and their families. Sunday Afternoons helps sponsor this important non-profit by outfitting the staff and children with Sunday Afternoons sun protective hats as well making intermittent product or cash donations used in fund raising events.
