In Kampong Speu, children made 2 types of Mother's Day cards featuring paper craft carnations. This time, they learned about a day to express gratitude for their mothers and fathers, the custom of sending flowers, as well as the carnation flower itself, that doesn't grow in Cambodia.
They made cards of flowers with colored paper and with hanshi paper to be dyed by water paints (the 3 primary colors and their mixtures: orange, yellow-green, and purple). These are pop-up cards, and each one pops up in a different way.
Of these 2 types of cards, one will be sent to a foster/supporting family overseas, and the other will be given to someone important to each child in their life in Cambodia.

In Kratie we made a small jigsaw puzzle and another new type of mechanical craft card for a mother’s day. However, since Cambodian New Year was just around the corner, many children were using the cards to send New Year's greetings. Both the cards and the puzzles were simply made, but it seemed that the children still needed more practice to get used to measuring length.
The cards are designed so that a message appears when the window slides open, and at the same time, 2 objects meet. What meets is up to the children's imagination.
The children knew about jigsaw puzzles, but since there are few stores selling them even in Phnom Penh, none of them had ever played with them. By the way, as the country had been developing, the COVID-19 pandemic hit, leading to a massive influx of used smartphones, and we feel that opportunities to create things or play with their own ideas have decreased. In this situation, puzzles can be one small solution...

BBE assisted the Global Leadership and Innovation Training Program of the Royal School of Administration, which conducted in Japan at the end of April. Central and local public officers joined from Cambodia.
In Japan, Shiga prefectural government welcomed the delegation so warmly, having prepared to share with us such valuable contents of its social initiatives and internal efforts. This was truly a precious opportunity and we are deeply grateful for their sincerity.
And the delegation visited places where they could catch a glimpse of the government's initiatives, experienced Japanese culture, and interacted with the organizations that had helped them come to Japan.
