In November 2022, two employees of Campbell Lutyens APAC office, respectively based in Hong Kong and Singapore office, raised funds for Children of the Mekong.
Their target? Fund the Grade 9 and Grade 10 cohorts of students at the Samrong Education Centre in Cambodia for one year. Their support will give chance to 24 students to continue their schooling in rural Cambodia.
After hosting a regional online meeting with everyone wearing pineapple shirts, the team organised two sports events in Hong Kong and Singapore. All the funds raised are match-funded by the firm.
Well done for this wonderful initiative, which allowed to raise £15k!
