In 2002 the KSL Mercy Home Project was established as one of our initiatives to help poor Cambodian people. The project was set up by KSL's founder, Mrs Agnes Verner, in consultation with Ms Addheka SengBou, Executive Director of KSL, and Mrs Leaksmy Rebok, Dean of Studies. The project has grown and become the KSL Aid Project of Mercy (APM).
The Aid Project of Mercy has expanded to reach people in Battambang, Takeo, Kampot and Kampong Speu provinces and Phnom Penh and Preah Sihanouk municipalities.

Throughout 2016-2017 fundraising was also done and $2679 AUD was raised and given to Addheka to go towards the supply of school uniforms for the very poor children that attend these schools.. Addheka has given our team a full budget by provinces of the money contributed for 2017. We hope to raise a further $3500 USD for further uniforms and school supplies for 2018.

Each year some of our team members spend a day at the Aid Project of Mercy in Kampot to catch up with Addheka and the children that are there, There are six other projects set up throughout Cambodia. We have great fun with the children and then share a beautiful lunch.

If on this Earth there are Angels - Vivid Publishing
Towards the end of 2015 Addheka published her book "If on this Earth there are Angels" with co-author Jim Pollock.
This is Addheka's true story of survival as she was only 14 with polio at the time of the Khmer Rouge in Cambodia and what became the kiling fields. You can purchase a copy of this book direct from Amazon or through Vivid Publishing.
All proceeds go directly towards Addheka's Aid Projects of Mercy that help out the poorest rural families and children in villages across 7 different provinces in Cambodia.
