[Tlc] Fwd: Tiny Toones USA Tour - NYC April 24, 2009

[Danny Marks]

Tiny Toones, one of Global Fund for Childrne's new spring grantee partners
based in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, is currently on a five-city USA dance tour.
Please see the information and image below:



Please join us at one of the many upcoming Hip-Hop fundraisers for Tiny
Toones! Seven of the Tiny Toones' *peer
mentors*<http://www.tinytoonescambodia.com/peer.html>(age 16-23), who
were former street kids that have grown into the big
brothers and big sisters of the program, will be performing live at each
event!

Events will feature a photo gallery, taken by award-winning photographer
Stuart Isett in December 2008, following the vibrant story of the life of
Tuy Sobil, a.k.a. ‘KK.” The founder of Tiny Toones will video stream live
via Skype for the audience to ask questions.

KK is a Cambodian refugee from Pol Pot’s killing fields who grew up on the
streets of Long Beach, California in the 1980’s, amongst its gangs, drugs,
and crime. KK was deported back to Cambodia in 2004, a country he barely
knew and with a language he could barely speak. Learn how one remarkable
individual has overcome all odds and brought Hip-Hop culture to thousands of
children in Cambodia, giving them hope for a better future.

The students of Tiny Toones struggle daily, coming from broken families and
living in the urban poverty of Phnom Penh. Through Hip-Hop music,
breakdancing, and education, the Tiny Toones center is an oasis for many of
these street kids, keeping them away from the problems of gangs, drugs and
sexual exploitation. Tiny Toones provides the children of Cambodia with a
place to dance, room to study, strong role models to follow, and a reason to
believe in a better tomorrow.


Gear, photos, artwork, and music album by the kids and supporters of the
program will all on sale. All proceeds go towards helping the youth build
their dreams!
