To raise money for my children in Cambodia, I invited 30 women to my home, did a fashion check with each of them, and then my favorite moment came… I took their picture!!!

Here they are….

Thank you so much to all of you on behalf of my children, your help makes such a HUGE difference in their everyday life and also for their future. You bring them not only food & a shelter but most importantly HOPE and DIGNITY.

When I look at your portraits, I see intelligent women,

confident women. And as if at that instant

you could be either playing, listening or thinking about one child in the slum.
