Fabulous time in Shanty Town
Last year during five weeks, we had the great opportunity to have one of our best intern that we never had before : Mathieu Membrez, age 18 ; coming from Switzerland.
Mathieu told me that this internship was one of the greatest experience in his life.
Before, he was just having a normal life, studying, with wonderful parents, in a good area in Geneva. But one of his dream was to travel for a human association in some part of the world.
Meet people who had nothing, and be aware of their life couldn’t be compare to his.
Being able to help the poor communities as much as he could, and offer them his help his, during the time he was in Cambodia.
In July 2019, he had the chance to make his dream become a reality.
He came during 5 weeks in Cambodia helping Shanty town spirit Ermine Norodom Association. Taking part as much as he could in the association, providing people with what they need, (sanitary products, soaps, rice, etc..) He discovered that those people had not much in their life but had such a great heart.
- He went with Ermine and other interns during various missions to the Shanty Town Spirit he was helping in buying sanitary products, and deliver them to the communities.
Thank you to Ermine, Maira and all the other people who surrounded me during this time.»
- He took this opportunity to take pictures, in order to use them after for the Shanty Town Blog.
- He had also been in charged of writing 11 short stories for the Shanty Town Spirit’s blog.
During those 5 weeks, it has been an incredible and unforgettable experience for him.
As he said « First in my way of thinking. Having seeing so much poverty with my own eyes, and being able to see the differences all over the world ».
« It was a little bit difficult at the beginning but it was such a wonderful experience.
For him, after having such experience, helped him increase the confidence in himself, and realize how lucky he was being able to follow Shanty Town Spirit Project.
He also admitted, that the first time in a Shanty Town, was very difficult and disorienting for him. How could people leave there ? but those people are just amazing, the families in the slum have such a great heart, emotional heart.
What he enjoyed the most was going to meet the communities of the slums and visiting centers that shanty Town is helping, being able to see that people with nothing are so pride to show me what they have. They do have practically nothing, as we can say from our point of view and way of living : how can they leave with so little? They are amazing and happy with what they have.
- during his internship, he also took part of the distribution of food, rice, etc… and was very proud and happy to do it.
« I have a big regret for the moment is that I am not gonna be able to go back sooner enough to Phnom Penh, to help Ermine and Maira witch do a such a great work.
I keep a very good memory of what I did with Shanty Town Spirit, I had a very good experience of life and more for me. I took, part of so manies different activities , and I really thanks the people I met for the great opportunities offered to me.
When I left Phnom Penh after 5 weeks, I said I am sure of it, one day I will go back there and continue the work with Shanty Town Spirit and see again all those wonderful person I met.
Shanty Town Spirit is a wonderful Association who work with the families of the communities in te slum. Actions, works, represent a very great amount of work and they do succeed in what they do.
You can give your support and help them to help others. Any donations is welcome, money of course, but also in kind (clothes, hygiène kits , school materials, etc…)
On last thank you to Princess Ermine Norodom, I am looking forward to go back again there as soon as possible.

One afternoon with Credit Bureau Cambodge at the movie
Credit Bureau Cambodia (CBC) is the leading provider of financial information, analytical solutions, and credit reporting services to financial institutions and consumers in the Kingdom of Cambodia ; but Credit bureau Cambodge, is not only a bank, but one of their responsibilities, is also to care and give back to the society as well.
They have various activities and one of them is to support our Association, once a year and provide the children in the Shanty Town regarding their education or any other area that they would need help.
Last year it was for education, CBC provided them a full kit (uniforms, bags, shoes) and this year it was oriented on the hygiene products.
On 2nd December, they gave the opportunities to 44 kids from our Shanty Town, together with the children of their employees to attend a movie at the Sovanna Shopping Center, at Prime Cineplex.
The journey starts with the trip in the tuk tuk, 9 in total
Followed by « trip » in the escalators, none of the kids never ever used this kind of escalators, they spent time to play with it.
Credit Bureau Cambodge distribute pop-corn and coke, and after the usual speeches ;
- Mr Oeur, CBC CEO,
- H.H Ermine Norodom
- And one of the kid, Sokear gave his testimony
The movie starts, it was so nice to see those kids, unfamiliar with the 3Ds movies, trying to catch the ball on the screen. It looks like magic to all of them.
At the end of the movie, each kid received a full hygiene kit :
- Tooth brush and dentifrice
- Moskito kit
- A blanket
- Tiger balm
- Etc…
Then each one went back with the tuk tuk and return home full of joy after this amazing afternoon.
Thank you Credit Bureau Cambodge for this wonderful time.

Un après - midi au cinéma avec Crédit Bureau Cambodge
Crédit Bureau Cambodge (CBC) n’est pas seulement tourner sur le profit, mais également à soin de pouvoir redonner à la Société. CBC a donc pour cela diverses actions sociales, afin de pouvoir reverser un peu à la Communauté et à la Société. Ils prennent à cœur de développer leur profit pour pouvoir étendre ces actions sociales.
Depuis l’an dernier, Crédit Bureau Cambodge a, a cœur de donner quelque chose aux enfants. L’an dernier c’était un kit pour l’éducation (uniformes, sacs d’écoles, baskets etc…) et cette année, c’était un kit d’hygiène.
Ainsi en date du 2 décembre, nous avons été invités par le Crédit Bureau Cambodge, CBC sur Phnom Penh, afin de permettre à 44 enfants provenant des Shanty Town, plus les enfants des employés, de participer à une sortie au cinéma pour aller voir « Ralph, breaks the Internet » en 3D.
Les enfants sont allés au Sovanna Shopping Center, au Prime Cineplex. L’aventure a commencée dans les tuk tuk, 9 au total.
Pour se poursuivre ensuite dans les escaliers roulants, car n’ayant pas l’habitude de monter par ce type d’escalier, ils ont pris du temps pour jouer avec.
Crédit Bureau Cambodge a ensuite procédé à la distribution des pop-corn et coca. Sokear avait préparé quelques jeux afin de faire patienter les plus jeunes.
Une fois installés, après les différents discours :
Mr Oeur, CEO of CBC ;
H.H Ermine Norodom
Et le témoignage de Sokear, un des jeunes du programme .
Le film a commencé, projection en 3D, tellement réel que les enfants voulaient attraper la balle qui apparaissaient à l’écran. Il y a eu alors un grand brouhaha dans toute la salle. Quelle magie que cette projection. C’était une grande première pour tous.
A la fin de la projection, chaque enfant a reçu un sac avec à l’intérieur :
Chacun est ensuite rentré avec les tuk tuk respectifs, tellement heureux de cette aventure.
Merci Crédit Bureau Cambodge pour cet après-midi.
- Des produits d’hygiène
- Une couverture
- Kit anti-moustique
- Brosse à dents et dentifrice
- Baume du tigre
- Peigne, produits anti-poux
- Etc…
Merci Crédit Bureau Cambodge pour cet après-midi.
