Anjali House
E&O supports and partners with Anjali House, a Cambodian non-profit organization dedicated to providing underprivileged children with education as well as avenues of creative expression through sports and the arts. The organization regularly arranges for international photographers to hold workshops in order to encourage the children to evolve their own personal vision and voice.
As part of our Community Outreach Program, E&O funds scholarships to enable gifted, poor students at Anjali House to continue their education in high school, university, or through apprenticeships. $1000 covers a child's tuition, materials and living expenses for one year. All scholarship donations made through our website will be matched by E&O, up to the amount of $10,000 through 2011. If you would like to sponsor a child's education, please donate now.
To help increase awareness and interest in the talents and skills of promising students, E&O is supporting the production of a collection of the children’s photography: “Cambodia Through the Eyes of Anjali Children”, published in November 2010. All the proceeds raised have gone towards providing scholarships.

...Boys who are educated may be able to break a family cycle of hard labor and typically earn more than their non-educated counterparts.
