Impact made by Global Roots

The "?What if!" employees donated over 50 toys! Global Roots managed to transport and deliver the toys to this remote area of Cambodia. Teacher Dany Pan awarded the toys to the children based on their academic performance.  Each and every child received one toy.

 

Many thanks to the employees of "?What if!" for their generosity, and to Sharon Li for her initiative!
