Happyland is a CAHCC community centre based in Takeo Province, Cambodia. It is our main objective is to create a safe, supportive and educational environment for local young people and their families, living in disadvantaged conditions. It is our intention, through empowerment and inclusion, to enable young people to pursue their dreams, while being positive role models in their community.
All of our daily activities and working practices follow and are inspired by the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child.
Our primary focus is to:
We believe that play, creativity and imagination are important factors in social and educational development.
They play a key role in developing self-awareness, self- confidence and healthy self-esteem.
Thanks to the collaboration of volunteers from around the world, young people and members of the local community, we have been able to offer a wide variety of classes, workshops and activities.
The main classes we run are English and computer, alongside free play, arts & crafts and general sports. Over the years with the help of skilled volunteers, we were also able to facilitate: judo, gymnastics, break-dancing, graffiti art, yoga, contemporary dance, circus skills, murals, drumming/guitar workshops and swimming.
