Everything about the Summer Camps in 2019
- Follow what’s happening in the Summer Camps on our blog and every Friday on PSE France’s social media channels, Facebook and Instagram.
Every summer during the month of August, PSE organises the Summer Camps. In the spirit of holiday camps, they welcome thousands of children every day who are supervised by Cambodian monitors who work in pairs with European volunteers. They enjoy fun activities: football, volleyball, theatre, singing, crafts and cultural visits, above all it is a time of laughs and friendships!
The Summer Camps take place on our premises in Phnom Penh, Siem Reap (Angkor) and Sihanoukville as well as in our community centres - or paillotes - located in the rundown places where our families live.
"Behind every smile, there is a sad and difficult story. All these children deserve our love and support without being judged", Marisa Caprile, responsible for the Summer Camps programme.
Many children benefit from being in a safe place during the holidays thanks to the Summer Camps. It protects them from being engaged as forced labour and ensures the continuity of our help, as we feed and look after the children.
PSE’s Summer Camps programme 2019 has been featured in the following articles in the French press:
