It's a program of French National Studies in 2005, and the aims of this project is to
protect children from any forms of abuse.
And to make it possible, Charles said, have different activities.
The first of all, we involve community people to be a part of Charles said, like the two
driver, motor taxi driver, hotel and guesthouse, tour company, internet cafes, restaurants,
and some media to involve in our projects.
Charles said provide training to those people to be aware of what is Charles said, what
is Charles Rice, the dangers that children facing, particularly street children, and
how to recognize children in danger and how to respond positively.
And also Charles said also have centers, this center open 24 hours, seven days a week.
And Charles said also have the hotline that open 24 hours, seven days a week as well.
So when children need support, they can come to a center or they can ring a 24 hour, or
anyone who know about services can ring a 24 hour, can bring the children travel to a
center 24 hour.
We always have staff ready to work with children.
And the way we work, we seem like a central point that we work, we try to understand the
problems of the children, and we try to understand their needs, and then we refer them to our
organization, our partner, it means that Charles said work with many organizations in Cambodia,
especially in Penumpun.
And more than that, Charles said also a part of public awareness that we provide information
to people who interested, especially tourists come for the first time in Cambodia, about
how they can respond positively to children begging and children setting things, right?
Because normally tourists coming for the first time in Cambodia do not know how to deal with
those situations.
As a consequence, if they like to give money to children begging, like to buy from children,
it seems like encouraging those children to continue living on the street, right?
So that is the service of Charles said.
And more than that, based on the services of Charles said, we have seen that more and
more children have known where they can get the service, when they are in trouble, where
they can get the immediate support.
As well as the tourists, more and more tourists have been informed about Charles's message.
So more and more tourists have known how to respond to children begging and children
setting things.
Regarding to the human trafficking in Cambodia, we've seen that it's more and more improvement
now, more and more better than before, comparing to six or seven years ago, because there are
more and more organizations that work against human trafficking and sexual exploitation.
Even the government also take the service action against this activity.
But in short, it's still the problem, but it's improvement, it's better than before.
And for the future plans, we will involve more and more people to be a part of Charles's
network, and also with different types of people.
So far, I mentioned that we have only two drivers, motor taxi driver, hotel and guest
house, internet cafe, two companies that are part of Charles's network.
In the future, we want more and more people like community people, teachers, tourists,
monks, village chief, community chief, and key people in community, as well as international
business to be a part of Charles's network.
Because with these people, we can really spread our message wider than before.
And also with these people, we will have more and more people participate in our project
in the future.
