In the province of Kep, Cambodia, women from the IWA Kep Association have been transforming discarded cement bags into beautiful, durable backpacks for schoolchildren. What was once waste is now a symbol of creativity, resilience, and hope.
A heartfelt thank you to all the participants of the Retraites méditatives silencieuses en Suisse silent meditation retreat in Switzerland who contributed to the creation of these backpacks. Your generosity and mindfulness are now supporting children’s education and empowering women in Kep.
The backpacks will soon be distributed to local students, bringing smiles, opportunities, and a tangible reminder of how compassion in action can make a difference across the world. 🌍🎒
