Camerado Media concludes Fundraiser to Benefit Disadvantaged Kids in Cambodia

Camerado has concluded a recent fundraiser to raise emergency tuition money to cover school costs for a disadvantaged brother and sister in Cambodia. Thanks to worldwide contributors as seen on our fundraising campaign page, the majority of the target was achieved! See some special thanks from the kids themselves in the video below:  
 The recent fundraiser continues Camerado Media's ongoing efforts over the years to volunteer, contribute, and benefit where possible deserving, disadvantaged communities - particularly in developing areas of ASEAN.

CamboFest was held for its 3rd (2009) edition, in the vintage 'Royal' cinema house in Cambodia, a pre-Khmer Rouge era Cambodian cinema hall which CamboFest brought back to life with a custom screen installation, generator, and all digital projection system. Before CamboFest 3.0, not even longtime local expats living in the area realized that the 'Royal' had once been a cinema house (of course local Cambodians remembered it well). The Royal had been used as a warehouse for water containers for years, ever since closing as an active cinema hall in 1986, and CamboFest staff only just found it by accident while scouting another vintage venue nearby.

I'm a WINNER!!!!!

Can't believe my luck these days; things seem to be DEFINITELY turning around! For example, I'm now down here at the Tuol Sleng Internet cafe, near the infamous former Tuol Sleng prison S21 [now a museum to the Cambodian Holocaust], where the Khmer Rouge held and tortured thousands of innocent men, women, and children. I'm just chillin'and drinking a Pepsi after teaching my wealthy government minister English student on the other side of town--the one who lives in a Sky blue mansion behind razor wire--and getting ready to hit Babel studios where our short demo / fundraising trailer of the Jarai hilltribes is about to be finished .... ...when I check my email to find that I have (once again!) won a MAJOR LOTTERY!!! Here's the message from the lottery president (?) , a Mr. Donald Duke--from London England: [*note, my response to him is included ] ==========>>> YES!!!! I can't f*cking believe it!!!
