"WE WILL EDUCATE OUR CHILDREN. WE WILL DO IT ONE BY ONE... STEP BY STEP." As a young Cambodian woman, PONHEARY LY survived the killing fields of the Khmer Rouge only to endure ensuing decades of occupation, civil war and poverty. Within the suffering she and her family experienced, she found a great compassion for the children of Cambodia -- the forgotten ones, the disenfranchised ones, the ones who without help have little hope of escaping the cycle of poverty brought by decades of genocide and war. PONHEARY LY has made it her life's mission to locate and be of service to the children of the rural poor in the villages of Siem Reap Province. The Ponheary Ly Foundation Canada is dedicated to supporting Ponheary's vision and efforts. Step by step. One by one.

Children who feel seen, loved and honoured are far more able to become loving parents and productive citizens capable of making wise choices. That’s why putting children first is the key to restoring our planet. Child Honouring offers a unique way forward for humanity – a systemic approach for addressing major challenges we face. Child Honouring can create a stronger and more durable social and ecological foundation in four ways: 1. Healing communities 2. Fostering character growth in children 3. Restoring ecosystems and detoxifying environments 4. Creating learning environments that educate and inspire an entire generation to carry out these tasks Children are not a partisan concern, and Child Honouring is not pitted against any person or ideology. Its allegiance is to children, and to their families. It speaks emphatically for the birthright of children in every culture to live in a world of love, dignity and security.
