Here is a project very close to my heart... my association with FWAB is a simple expression of mutual heartfelt support... It is very fulfilling.

Friends Without A Border (Friends) was founded in 1995 by internationally acclaimed photographer Kenro Izu. After a seriesof visits to photograph the Angkor monuments Izu dedicated himself and his photography to Cambodia's children. Using his photography to raise awareness and financial support, Izu's dream was realized in 1999 with the opening of Angkor Hospital for Children (AHC).

Over the past 6 years AHC has treated over 265,000 children and the range of services it provides has grown. The Capacity Building and Health Education Program, and the AHC Medicals Training Program have flourished and begun to make significant impact on the medical infrastructure of Cambodia.

Friends remains a small organization with great ambitions, maintaining small offices in N.Y., Tokyo and Phnom Penh. Friends employs only three staff members and maintains a modest budget. Funds are raised through grants, donations, annual events and the generosity of our donors.
