Srey Nett touche à sa réalité



Srey Nett touche à sa réalité



Srey Nett et Ermine 



Srey Nett est une jeune fille de 18 ans, qui fait partie du programme de Shanty Town Spirit depuis 8 ans. 
Elle fait partie de la communauté de Boeung Trabek avec ses parents et ses 4 frères.
Comme de nombreux enfants, elle collectait les poubelles afin de gagner un peu d’argent.
Son père, avant était moto dop, maintenant il est conducteur de tuk tuk, sa mère a travaillée pendant 7 ans, mais désormais, elle peut rester à la maison pour cuisiner et s’occuper de la famille, car sur ses 4 fils, 2 travaillent. Les deux plus petits frères sont Ron et Rath et vont à l’école, ils sont inclus dans le programme de Shanty Town Spirit.

La famille de Sret Nett 

Lorsque Srey Nett a commencé l’école, elle avait d’excellents résultats, elle voulait devenir médecin ; mais au fur et à mesure qu’elle s’apercevait que le chemin était long et difficile, ses résultats scolaires devenaient de plus en plus mauvais.
Elle a été totalement découragée par le parcours.

Shanty Town Spirit étant toujours derrière « ses » enfants, à profiter de l’invitation au forum de l’Université de Puthisastra (UP) le 28 et 29 juin 2018 pour amener Srey Nett et l’aider à identifier la carrière qu’elle veut avoir.




Pendant toute la matinée, elle a ainsi pu participer au cours et ateliers de présentation dans les domaines tels que :
-       Dentisterie,
-       Infirmière en laboratoire,
-       Pharmacienne,
-       Infirmière en médecine,
Elle a également visité la bibliothèque ; les salles de médecine, le laboratoire de simulation dentaire.

Labo en pharmacie



Srey Nett, Ermine et 2 étudiantes en médecine 


Tout cela l’a beaucoup intéressée, elle est très enthousiaste à l’idée de rejoindre l’université.
Il lui reste trois années encore, pour améliorer ses résultats et avoir un dossier présentable pour pouvoir entrer à l’université.
Shanty Town Spirit va participer aux frais pour les cours privés d’anglais. 
Elle doit avoir d’excellents résultats en maths, physique, chimie et anglais.
De plus sa motivation comptera énormément dans cela.  En fonction de son dossier, de ses résultats et de sa motivation, l’Université pourrait décider de prendre en charge sa scolarité, ce qui représente 2500 dollars à l’année.



Bonne chance Srey Nett.



Elisa, Srey Nett et Ermine 


Merci pour la matinée aux étudiants

Srey Nett's dreams come true 



Srey Nett&Ermine


Srey Nett is a young lady of 18 years old,  part of the Shanty Town Spirit program for 8 years now.
She come from the Boeung Trabek community with her parents and her 4 brothers.
Her father was a moto dop in the past, but now he is a very serious  tuk tuk driver.
 Her mother, can now be a house wife, taking care of her family because there is three salaries come in from her husband and the two biggest sons .
Over the four boys, two are working, the other two, Ron and Rat, are going to school, they both are, also part of the Shanty Town Spirit project and excel very nicely at school.
 Srey Nett, as many other kids, she was forced to collect the rubbish to be able to earn some money.
When she started school, she had really good results ; she wanted to become a doctor ; but with the time she realised that the road was really hard, and the results started to fall down.    She lost faith and was completely discouraged.

Shanty Town Spirit has the goal to always be there for the people. We took the opportunity to attend a Discovery Festional on 28 – 29 June at The University of Puthisastra (UP). This Discovery Festival was meant to introduce high school students to the degrees and programs that they offer and to campus life at UP.



Midwife class 


pharmacy labo



There was a campus tours, career talks, mini-workshops with the different academic departments, experiential activities in the department booths and many more. UP students, faculty and staff were there to share what it is like to pursue careers in the health sciences and technology fields.
Srey Nett during this event could therefore attend workshop on :
-       Dentistry,
-       Nursing laboratory,
-       Medical laboratory lab,
-       Pharmacy laboratory,
-       Medicine class,
-       And also visited the library,
She came out of the Discovery Festival  very enthousiastic and has the real goal to be better in school.




Presentation of the Forum





Shanty Town Spirit will pay for additional private english lessons, to improve her skills.
She has now, three years, to keep progressing and to have a good follow up file on her results in maths, chemistry, english, and physics.
Moreover she also has to demonstrate her motivation, together with her good file, to be able to join the University.
 If she is accepted, the University will pay the full scholarship, which represents 2.500 dollars for a year.
So all the Best for Srey Nett.



Elisa, Srey Nett and Ermine

Solidarity Trip were a hit at local Hip Hop NGO Tiny Toones

Solidarity Trip and Shanty Town Spirit joined forces to visit local NGO Tiny Toones Cambodia to bring smiles into the hearts and faces of the 100 children who receive a free education everyday at the centre based in Chbar Ampov, just over  the river from Boeung Trabek.

Former Tiny Toones student and now teacher, bboy "Slick" doing what he does best!!

Solidarity Trip were so impressed by the talent of the children there, especially in break dancing and hip hop, they kindly decided to purchase and donate three fans for the dance to the hot and sweaty dance studio and a new t-shirt for each child. The t-shirt were a spritely yellow to match the bright enthusiasm of these students.

Tiny Toones manages to operate and provide educational services to children everyday aged from 5-18 years, who would otherwise not be in school due to poverty. They survive only through donations and all the teachers working there were former students as they use a peer model to teach and inspire.
Solidarity Trip family joining in the fun

It was a fun-filled afternoon with the Solidarity family joining group dances. Madam Stephanie even presented her moves, springing into a handstand as the audience cheered. So touched by the experience, Solidarity Trip plans to continue to support Tiny Toones alongside their support for Shanty Town.      tinytoones.org

NGO - Partner - Movie : The Other lives of Kattia

The movie about the life of Kattia Huy, president of our friend NGO Cambodia for United Children's. The trials Kattiamoni went through during her childhood in Cambodia, naturally designated her to be the perfect ambassador for disadvantaged children in Siem Reap and then to become the president of United for Cambodian Children.

Kattia Huy with kids from BOeung Trabek slums
Indeed, the life of this girl from an influential and wealthy family changed dramatically on April 17, 1975, the day of the capture of Phnom Penh by the Khmer Rouge and the beginning of a regime of terror that was going to decimate more than three million Cambodians. Since that day, the life of Kattiamoni has radically changed.
After overcoming the abominable living conditions imposed by the Pol Pot men, she managed to flee to Vietnam and then to Europe. Over there, she had to relearn freedom, happiness and forgiveness. After years of reconstruction, today more than ever, Kattiamoni wants to help the children of his country through the NGO United for Cambodian Children, offering them access to education and an environment in which to build a decent future for the following generations.

Watch the movie

Cambodia - Solidarity : Auction for Shanty Town Spirit children



Sofitel's first auction was held on Sundays in favor of poor children in the slums of Phnom Penh. A little more than fifty people had made the trip to admire the works of the collective of gallery K-Bach artists, to admire the work of the painters and sculptors, to attend a quite unusual event or simply to support the team of the NGO Shanty Town Spirit, beneficiary of 25% of the revenue generated on this occasion.

First auction in Sofitel for disvantaged children from the slums
Only a few artists works generated some exchanges between bidders, and rare are the paintings that reached unreasonable sums. For the occasion, Shanty Town Spirit also set up a booth selling a few products, calendars and postcards, whose sales, went directly to the benefit of the NGO.

Vidéo : The Supreme - Burgers & Cheesecakes works with Shanty Town Spirit

Message from The Supreme - Burgers & Cheesecakes

We are proud to announce our collaboration with Shanty Town Spirit every Wednesday. To give back, on our scale, what the country has given us.




As mentioned, we work with the association Shanty Town Spirit that takes care of the basic nutrional food on a weekly basis such as drinking water, rice and dry food. We are aware that what you saw in the video do not represent a sustainable base of food. Our small contribution is mainly based on Education in order to be able to send kids to private school instead of looking for something to sell or to eat into the garbage.


Our visit was focused on another purpose, which is to spend good time, to have some fun with them, like anyone else, and to remind them that they are not forgotten. Some detractors do not have the long-term vision. But if they do and want to know more about the process to help many other families as we do, please feel free to contact Shanty Town Spirit.
The Supreme Team.

Shanty Town wishes to deepfully thanks he Supreme - Burgers & Cheesecakes

A Cut above the Rest! Shanty Town meets the next generation of Hair Stylists

Curious about vocational training options in and around Phnom Penh, the Shanty Town Spirit team made a trip out to the Happy Chandara Vocational Training Center, approximately 12 kms from of the centre of town. As you know, Shanty Town is always exploring educational opportunities for our children, some of whom struggle with mainstream schooling. We try to find a best fit for all our kids whether it be school or vocational training. 


Supported by the L’Oreal Foundation and embedded within the Happy Chandara school, the center offers high-level hairdressing training to budding local hair stylists looking to work in the beauty industry or hoping to open their own salon one day. The centre is always looking for internship opportunities for their students and they do their best to support their girls to find jobs.


We toured the campus which was spotless and met a number of students who all seemed happy to be there. We observed the hair training class which was full of activity as the students were practicing on each other with hair colours using L’Oreal products. 


Happy Chandara School currently educates 1200 girls who all come from under-privileged backgrounds. An initiative of the French-based Toutes á l’école, the school aims to provide a future of dignity and freedom to these young girls who can grow up to be whomever they would like to be. 




The students are supported throughout their schooling life, through to tertiary studies and their first job. Happy Chandara understands the continuity of support these students need to transition throughout their development and reach their potential.
