Cowichan Station is a rural community south of Duncan on Vancouver Island. The CSAA was established 2007 after our 100 year old local school was closed, prompting local people to band together to restore a community gathering space for the area. Several "Community Conversations" were held to discuss and envision what is important to the residents of Cowichan Station, and CSAA is working to implement some of those ideas. The school is undergoing extensive renovations and has been transformed into The HUB at Cowichan Station, a gathering space for arts, culture and recreation. CSAA is 100% volunteer operated.

"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.
