(EMAILWIRE.COM, October 19, 2010) SIEM REAP, Cambodia—Journeys Within Our Community (JWOC), a non-profit organization that helps local communities in Southeast Asia, announced that it will be selling Christmas cards designed by students in Southeast Asia in order to benefit underprivileged local students. JWOC, which has been instrumental in building classrooms, creating scholarship programs, and developing free learning opportunities for people in need in Southeast Asia hopes that the sale of the Christmas cards will further benefit these communities directly.

Southeast Asia tour company Journeys Within, is covering all of the printing costs of the Christmas cards so that all proceeds of the sales go directly to JWOC’s Free School Program in Cambodia and Laos. By buying the specially made JWOC holiday cards, drawn by the children who study in JWOC’s free classes, purchasers can directly support the development of these free classes while purchasing Christmas cards that have a very personal connection to Southeast Asia. JWOC’s classes offer free educational opportunities to many people in the local community from tuk tuk drivers to primary school children. All of the new skills that all students learn at JWOC have a direct impact on them and the lives of their families.

A set of 10 JWOC Christmas cards costs just $25. For more information or to purchase the cards, visit http://www.journeyswithinourcommunity.org/projects/education/jwoc-christmas-cards/.
