On Monday, the 20th of January 2014, our delegation welcomed Guillaume Mariau, in charge of sponsoring and partnership for Enfants du Mékong Paris.
After a friendly gathering around the buffet dinner, Guillaume presented the last and future projects supported by the Singapore sponsors and team.
First one is the center of Sisophon, in Cambodia, which represents today 41 boarding house and 1226 children. The funds raised in 2013 by the Singapore delegation contributed to cover the nutrition and healthcare related costs of learning and residential centres in Sisophon.

The new project for 2014 will support the educational center for disabled children in Manila. This structure is a huge innovation in Philippines, and will help many children and youth. That’s why Enfants du Mékong decided to help this structure.

As for the support brought to the Philippines after the Haiyan typhoon, Guillaume reminded us
that Enfants du Mékong is not an emergency response NGO, but assists with the reconstruction.
There are three phases to this reconstruction effort: audit and coordination, implementation of immediate aid, and long-term action plan to help families.
Thanks to our sponsors and friends who joined us for this enriching talk!
