We had a wonderful and successful evening at our Auction for Action at Ramscale Studios in New York. Works were generously donated by artists like Judy Chicago, Karen Kertesz, Megumi Nagai, Natalie Frank, and many others. We are thrilled to announce that we were able to raise over $10,000 and enough funds to purchase 16 laptops for our students, thanks in large part to Phillip and Nicola O’Leary’s generous dedication to matching us laptop for laptop.

“Almost Born” by Judy Chicago is still available for purchase.

Some of the art is still available for purchase, please email us at laura@global-children.org for more information.  We will be adding a link to our website soon.

With traditional Cambodian dance performances, words from Global Children Cambodia graduates and our director Laura Tancredi, the evening was a wonderful celebration of what we’ve achieved with an eye towards building our future.

An enormous thank you to everyone who donated, purchased art, and shared the evening with us.  We look forward to connecting with you more!
