Cambodia Care Centre
In my forties and mother of three children, I am of French and German origin.
This double culture has opened my mind to the world and its diversity.
With a passion for taking pictures since I was an adolescent, it is with this openness that I began traveling around the world. Life has given me the chance to live in Singapore. Based in the heart of Asia, I had the opportunity to travel Southeast Asia, notably China, Vietnam and Cambodia, where I met three humanitarian organizations who have particularly affected me:
Couleurs de Chine (Colors of China), a French association created in 1990, who's sponsorships allow the enrollment of young girls of the Miao, Dong and Yao minorities, finance school buildings and help preserve their culture.
Mai Nhà Children Foundation Vietnam is a French association founded in 2010, who opened a small orphanage in southern Vietnam and awards scholarships to the poorest children in the village. It's the dream come true of one of my close friends who had previously adopted her daughter Kim in Vietnam, 15 years ago.
Cambodia Care Centre, a Cambodian Association, founded in 2011, runs a school in a slum in Phnom Penh, Cambodia and offers the poorest children a glimmer of hope for a better future.
For each of these associations, I was able to appreciate on-site and on a regular basis, the quality of work, ethics, as well as the teams' effectiveness.
You can contact these associations directly here:

- Mai Nhà in Vietnam : www.mai-nha.org
- Cambodia Care Center : lkpjohn@gmail.com
Being a mother myself, I am convinced of the importance of education for all left behind children.
Back in Europe, I am eager to continue to support these three associations and my humanitarian project appeared now seems obvious to me: combining my passion for photography and humanitarian action.
I therefore, sell my photos (individually or in book form) to promote each of these associations to help them financially.
