I was so impressed with the performance – it was truly professional in quality, content and entertainment”.
Shane Wright, Young Ambassador’s Artistic Director said, “We wanted to raise public awareness and funding for the Hospital Initiative. After arriving here in Phnom Penh and seeing first hand what Janne Ritskes and the supporters of the Hospital Initiative have accomplished and understanding what they have planed for the future we are very satisfied with our visit and effort to help their plans move forward.”
