Various artists contribute their products for sale to help finance Team Boravuth. When you purchase any of the items displayed in the website, fifty percent (50%) of the proceeds will be directly applied to the “Girls be Ambitious” scholarship program managed by
American Assistance for Cambodia/Japan Relief for Cambodia (AAfC) .
