The Strathmore Vanderbilt Women’s Club in Manhasset is looking to help rebuild a school in Cambodia and will hold its annual Philanthropic Fundraiser on Saturday, Nov. 16.
Surprising what little money it takes to change the world.
In Cambodia, it would take just $15,000 to rebuild a school that had been destroyed in the 1970s. Pol Pot, leader of the Khmer Rouge regime, ascended to power and murdered 25 percent of Cambodia’s population from 1970-1974 and destroyed schools and polluted waters.
