Crown Worldwide Group Aids HIV Positive Children
PHNOM PENH, Cambodia, August 17 /PRNewswire/ --
- Crown's Corporate Social Responsibility Group Sponsors a Second School
in Cambodia
The Crown Worldwide Group, a worldwide leader of global mobility, moving
services, relocation services, information management, art shipping and
logistics services, announced the opening of the second school funded by
Crown, in Phnom Penh, Cambodia.
The school will be attended by 3,000 children, aged 6 to 16 years old,
and integrates over 100 HIV positive and orphan children
(http://www.crownworldwide.com/cww/charity.cambodia.school.html). Most
schools in Cambodia do not accept HIV positive children
(http://www.crownworldwide.com/cww/charity.cambodia.school.html).
On June 1, 2009, the opening ceremony was officiated by the governor of
Phnom Penh, Kep Chuk Tema. Crown Chairman, Jim Thompson, attended, along with
1,200 teachers, students and their families.
Thompson encouraged the students to work hard so that one day they can
help Cambodia to become a stronger country. "The appreciation shown by all
the families has encouraged us to provide humanitarian aid
(http://www.crownworldwide.com/cww/charity.motion.html) in Cambodia. We are
researching another project to help these needy children," said Jim. To
acknowledge her hard work on this project, the building was dedicated to
Thompson's wife, Sally, and is named, "Sally Thompson Building."
In 2007, Crown completed its first project, the Proa Chum School building
project (http://www.crownworldwide.com/cww/charity.cambodia.tribute.html)
located two hours from Phnom Penh, providing for 1,000 children. Both
projects support the company's Corporate Social Responsibility
(http://www.crownworldwide.com/community) (CSR) goal to promote health and
educational programs to help children
(http://www.crownrelo.com/relo/charity.cambodia.school.html) in underserved
communities and provide humanitarian aid.
