In 2007 and 2008, The Rotary Club of St. John's Northwest presented checks ($13,000 (US) and $5100 (US) respectively) to the Centre for Children's Happiness in Cambodia. The Centre provides a home and education to 140 children. The children are either orphans or belong to parents who cannot take care of them due to illness or disability. Most of the children previously worked as garbage pickers at the Steung Mean Chey landfill in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. The contributions funded new construction for the Centre (including an additional floor, pictured above, in which more children can learn and play).
