The following report was written by Jennifer Connelly, Vice-President of Kampuchea House.

In mid November the KH (Kampuchea House) youth committee held our first ever fundraiser. The idea was to get the youth of Melbourne to come along and support the youth of Kampuchea House in Cambodia. We took this quite literally and themed our night with a youth influence with games such as pass the parcel, lolly jar guessing game and a treasure chest filled with chocolate coins. The fun and games was accompanied by a delicious meal at a Cambodian restaurant in the Docklands, Bopha Devi. The night was a huge success and we raised a total of $1413.25. We would like to thank our sponsors who donated prizes for the raffle and the other games - Pyrahna Fitness & Norm Clark; Lonely Planet; Jason May; Libby McCann; Village Cinemas; Matt Simeon & HairHouse Warehouse; Sinn Bar; Total Rush; Westbourne Grammar  and Australia Post.

I would also like to thank everyone who helped behind the scenes on the night including Karen, Deb and Chris Connelly and the youth committee, Eli Firestone, Jess Stojkovski, Tom Wilkins, Mithra Raja and Katie Murphy who put in a huge effort to help make the night a success. The youth committee was formed at the beginning of this year in order to expand our support base and awareness and to ensure a bright future for Kampuchea House.  In this day and age, in a society where we are so fortunate, it is important that we share that fortune with those people that endure unimaginable hardships. It is inspiring to know that these young people, along with all our ongoing supporters of Kampuchea House, are dedicated to this. I would last, but not least, like to thank everyone who came to this wonderful night, your dedication to helping the children at Kampuchea House and willingness to contribute your time and money is appreciated on so many levels, including from all the children of Kampuchea House.

Thank you again to everyone who put in an effort to make this night a success. The youth committee has exciting plans for next year so watch this space!
