After Overseeing Hollywood Movies Such As Xmen and Start Wars, Scott Neeson Quitted Everything To Support Marginalized Kids

šŸ‘‹Have you already heard šŸ‘‚about the Steung Meanchey garbage dumpšŸ—‘ļø in CambodiašŸ‡°šŸ‡­ also called Smokey šŸ’ØMountain? Until 2009, hundreds of childrenšŸ‘©ā€šŸ’¼šŸ‘Øā€šŸ’¼ were picking garbage to be sold for recyclingā™»ļø on this 6 hectares dumping ground. It was one of the most toxicā˜£ļø environment imaginable. Since 2004, Cambodian Children’s fund CCF is fighting to transform impoverished kids into tomorrow’s leadersšŸ‘Øā€šŸ’¼šŸ‘©ā€šŸ’¼.

I would be surprised 😯if you have never heard aboutšŸŽ„ Xmen, Start Wars, Braveheart or Titanic. The man behind it is Scott Neeson, ex-President of šŸŽžļø20th Century Fox International. Before starting a new role at Sony in 2003, he took a 5 weekšŸ§³āœˆļø trip to CambodiašŸ‡°šŸ‡­ where he discovered kidsšŸŽžļøšŸ‘ØšŸ‘§ everywhere working on that garbage dump. He could not let that go. One year later, he sold his fancy carsšŸš—, yachtšŸ›„ļø and house šŸ to relocate in Phnom Penh and started the Cambodian Children’s fund.

CCF aimsšŸŽÆ at providing best in class education šŸ‘©ā€šŸ«to marginalized children living near by the dumping šŸ—‘ļøgroup. Their outreach teams 🌟create the right education environment with support on basic needs such as homesšŸ , foodšŸ and healthāš•ļø. Then, they provide access to their own primary and secondary schools šŸ¢with one objective: support all the way to University education šŸ’Ŗand make sure students could become the leaders of tomorrowšŸ‘©ā€šŸ’¼šŸ‘Øā€šŸ’¼.

Their secondary school is impressive🌟. It looks like a tier one private schoolšŸ¢ but which is located in the middle of one of the poorest area in the countryšŸ‡°šŸ‡­. Since itsšŸš€ inception, they have trained šŸ’ŖšŸ˜€1898 students, provided 461 homes and distributed 45 tons of rice at a heavily subsidized price.

🌟🌟🌟At Our Own Pace And Scale, Everyone Can Aspire To Change The World🌟🌟🌟
