We made $10,000 for the children of Cambodia on the opening night of my exhibition in the Leica Gallery Singapore which was also the best-selling ever in the gallery history with a crowd of photo enthusiasts packed from wall-to-wall

Exhibition von Overgaard opening night in the Leica Gallery Singapore.

I'm proud to say that the exhibition was already the most selling photo exhibition in the history of the Leica Gallery Singapore already before the opening night had ended.

Thanks to the enthusiastic crowd there was sold for $10,000 signed prints and all proceedings went to the children of Cambodia through Caring for Cambodia.

Present was the Singapore president of Caring for Cambodia, Ms. Tracy Dowell who told how buying one print for $500 will keep one child in school for 2.5 years and also give that child two meals a day so they can stay energetic and awake during their school life.

Ms. Tracy Dowell also told how $1,500 will supply a water pump that supply a village with fresh water for many years without further energy or maintenance required. "Feeding a school kid in Cambodia is $30 a year!" I tell my own children, "that is three drinks from Starbucks" she told the cheering crowd.

As topping of the cake, all children gets a school uniform which is almost as significant in their life's as a crowning of a king.

A Ray of Mr. Tan

Apart from the many supporters who bought signed prints on the opening night, the hero of the evening was none other than store manager of Leica Store Raffles, Mr. Ray Tan who lead the sale of signed prints and made a very personal plea to support the children of Cambodia. And Leica Camera Singapore also bought two prints for them self!

The hero of the day, Leica Store Manager Mr. Ray Tan making sure everybody gets home with a print in support of the children of Cambodia!

Support the cause

Besides looking pretty on a wall, each print also symbolizes 2.5 years of school and food paid for, for one child in Cambodia (or 7.5 years - a whole school life for a child - if you buy the large, signed and limited print!).
