CYCLO PANTRY
Just two months into its existence the local initiative Local4Local is launching another project to fight hunger called the Cyclo Community Pantry, or Cyclo, Pantry with support from the Cyclo Association.
During the lockdown of Phnom Penh in April, Local4Local was established by a Cambodian college student stuck at home and unable to resume his studies in person back in the freezing winters of St Paul, the capital city of the state of Minnesota in the US.
Local4Local’s overall mission is to provide food assistance to the poor and underprivileged people of Phnom Penh and their cyclo pantry programme will be Phnom Penh’s first mobile community pantry with groceries donated by the local community delivered to those in need via cyclos.

PREACHING KINDNESS
Taing Huang Hao was visiting his parents in Phnom Penh back in January 2020, on a short break between semesters at the university he was attending in St Paul, and like most of us he had no notion that a global disaster was looming and the world was about to change forever.
St Paul is the capital city of the state of Minnesota and one of the “Twin Cities” – along with the larger city of Minneapolis – with both cities sprawled along the banks of the Mississippi River, not unlike how the Tonle Sap and Mekong Rivers wind past Hao’s hometown – except that its all much, much colder for most of the year.
