Dear Heather
Are
non government organizations such as the Cambodian Children’s Fund working in
Cambodia to help poor Cambodians or to help themselves?
Scott
Neeson describes as the Cambodian Children’s Fund ‘mission’ in Cambodia as
follows:
“
To break cycles of poverty and abuse and to create positive change in Cambodia
through intervention and education for the most impoverished children and their
families.”
Is
Scott achieving these goals in a cost effective manner?
CCF
is a registered charity in the United States. Each year the NGO must file a tax
return.
The
Cambodian Children’s Fund 2013 “Return of Organization Exempt from Income Tax”
is to be found at:
In
Line 4a the figure of $1,603,309 appears alongside a list of educational
programs servicing 760 kids.
Simple
mathematics reveals that CCF claims to be spending roughly $2,000 per child per
annum for education.
Does
this figure seem realistic, Heather, in a country in which the per capita
income of most Cambodian families is below $1,500?
In
Line 4b the figure of $1,423,298 appears alongside:
“Childcare
– CCF provides housing and transportation to over 700 impoverished Cambodian
children.”
CCF
claims to be spending roughly $2,000 per child for housing and transportation
per annum and yet these children sleep in dormitories, often 3 and 4 to a bed!
Given
that the cost of transportation within Steung Meanchey would cost very little,
it is fair to assume that the bulk of the $2,000 CCF claims to spend per child
in institutional care is for ‘housing’.
How
and why does it cost more to house and educate one Cambodian child in a CCF
institution for one year than it costs for an entire Cambodian family to live
for one year?
Given
that all the 700 children in institutional care at CCF are going to school, the
figures for education and housing can be added together.
So
it is that Scott is claiming, to the US Tax Office, that CCF is spending
roughly $4,000 to house and educate one Cambodian child.
Heather,
please consider CCF’s 2013 tax return as it relates to the family CCF locked
out of its house for being $12.50 behind in their rent.
Pheng Heng, aged 60, and his wife Pok Poq,
aged 52 have 3 of their children in CCF residential care. These three children
are also being educated by CCF.
The Cambodian Children’s Fund claims in its
2013 tax return to be spending approximately $2,000 per year to provide housing
and transport for each of Pheng Heng and Pok Poq’s three children.
That’s $6,000 per year.
The Cambodian Children’s Fund also claims in
its 2013 tax return to be spending roughly $2,000 a year to educate each of
Pheng Heng and Pok Poq’s three children.
That’s
another $6,000 per year.
According to the figures Scott has provided
to the US Tax Office CCF is spending $12,000 per year caring for Pheng Heng and
Pok Poq three children.
This
is roughly 10 times as much money as Pheng Heng earns when he can work.
Does it make any sense, Heather, that the
Cambodian Children’s Fund, by its own admission, takes in $12,000 per annum
from sponsors and donors to care for Pheng Heng and Pok Poq’s three children
and locks them and their other children out of their house because they were
$12.50 behind in their rent?
To
find out more about this family locked out of their home visit:
And read:
A few days ago I filmed with a family that
has had 8 years of experience with CCF intervention in its life. I will keep
the identity of the family secret for the time being as I do not want its
members to be subject to the harassment that Pheng Heng and Pok Poq experienced
when I made their story public.
There are 8 children in the family. There is
no father. The mother works in the Phnom Penh rubbish dump with one of her
children, to support herself and two of her other children. Hers and her son’s
income combined per year is $1,000.
Five of this mother’s children are in CCF
residential care.
If CCF 2013 Tax Return is correct, these five
children are being housed, transported and educated by CCF to the tune of
$4,000 per year per child.
That's $20,000 a year.
I asked the mother during a filmed interview
what assistance CCF gives to her and her other three children? The answer was
"Ten kilos of rice a week."
Ten kilos of rice costs around $5 or $6.
So, whilst caring for this mother's five
children is generating $400 per week in donations and sponsorship for CCF, only
$5 or $6 is going to the family!
I wanted to be sure that I had heard right;
that nothing had been lost in translation, so I asked the question three times.
Each time the answer came back, "Ten kilos of rice per week."
Further questioning revealed that if anyone
in this mother of eight’s family got sick CCF would give her $10 or $20.
This mother's five children generate $20,000
of income for CCF (sponsors and donors) per annum and yet CCF gives the mother
and her other three children between $250 and $300 of rice per annum!
Simple mathematics reveals that this single
mother receives 1.5% of income raised by CCF to care for her five
children. 98.5% of money raised through
sponsorships and donations goes to the Cambodian Children’s Fund.
Does this strike you as being right, Heather?
Fair. CCF is supposed to be a non-profit organization but it certainly looks,
from CCF’s own figures, that it is making a huge profit from impoverished
families such as the ones described here.
This mother lost her home and land when she
was unable to meet interest payments from a money lender. She needs $4,000 to
buy a new home and land and $1,000 to set up a business to support herself and
all of her family.
The Cambodian Children’s Fund could make the
entire family self-sufficient with just three months of the income the NGO
receives to take care of this mother’s five children.
You lend credibility to the Cambodian
Children’s Fund through your star status, Heather. You open doors that enable
CCF to find new (and wealthy) donors and sponsors. I hope, at the very least,
that you look at the figures mentioned above and ask some questions of Scott
Neeson regarding how these donor and sponsor dollars are being spent.
best wishes
James Ricketson
How can he be spending $2000/child/year, when a teacher in Cambodia might only make $125/month. While I'm sure that some could make more, this seems to be the norm. Also from his tax return: CCF'S STUDENTS ARE ALSO INTEGRATED INTO THE CAMBODIAN PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM. Isn't the public school system virtually free?
ReplyDeleteWhere is the Phnom Penh Post on this? Do they simply refuse to report on matters of Scott Neeson, unless he writes the story for them?
I will ask Scott how many of CCFs students are integrated into the Cambodian public school system and hence free. Scott will not answer the question. Scott does not answer any questions.
DeleteAs for the Phnom Penh Post and the Cambodia Daily neither newspaper bothers to ask any questions at all of Scott Neeson. He is untouchable.
Or, if either of these newspapers ever ask questions and he simply refuses to answer them they back off. "There is no story here because Scott Neeson refuses to answer questions."
Who knows the answer? You are thinking that there is actually much more revenue from these other organizations, but only the US contributions are listed on his tax report, accounting for the $10.6M? There is also one in Hong Kong https://www.ccf-hk.org/ and many other organizations . I’m not sure if this is possible, though I think it might be. Need to find out how much is contributed in those other countries, if possible. It is possible that the sum total gets reported as income on his US tax return, the same as a US citizen working in many different countries would report all income in their tax filing. ????
ReplyDeleteI will ask Scott Neeson if all tax deductible money raised around the world for CCF is included in the US tax filing.
DeleteList of organizations: CCF (registered in the US), Cambodian Children’s Fund UK (CCF UK). Cambodian Children’s Fund Australia Incorporated (CCF Australia), The Cambodian Children’s Fund Australia Trust (CCFA Trust), CCF Hong Kong. The question is: Are all of thses revenue streams reported on the CCF US Tax filing?
ReplyDeleteAccording to the US filing, they are bringing in nearly $30,000/DAY, 365 days a year.
I'd like to know how much of this $30,000 a day is spent buying property in and around Steung Meanchey that is owned by the Cambodian Children's Fund and then rented to the families of kids in CCF residential care?
ReplyDeleteThe balance sheet has $2.5M in Land, buildings, and equipment: cost or other basis. That would be over the 10 years.
DeleteTotal assets of nearly $9,000.000 reported as of 2013. Don't think I'll be sending money to Neeson anytime soon.
DeleteI will add this to my list of questions for Scott.
DeleteI am currently in the process of trying to help families working in the Phnom Penh rubbish dump to buy homes and land back in their provinces.
On average, $4,000 is needed per family to give them a chance to start a new life. Almost without exception these 'dump families' lost their homes because they were unable to pay back loans made to them by money-lenders. And the reason for taking out a loan in the first place is very often a serious illness in the family that requires expensive medical attention.
In the case of one family, a $200 loan attracted 10% interest per week. The interest on the $200 loan, for one year, amounted to $500. The family could not pay this and so lost both home and land and came to work in the rubbish dump.
It seems to me that rather than wait until such families have lost their homes and land NGOs such as CCF could offer them very low interest loans to help them recover from financial crises often brought about through illness in the family.
If it is true that CCF is bringing in $30,000 per day through sponsorships and donations this amount would enable roughly 8 families to leave the dump and resume the lives they were living before financial disaster struck.
In acquiring land and buildings to house and school 700 children, however, CCF now has infrastructure in place that must be utilised. The CCF funding model now requires that all those 700 beds be filled with kids. If these kids were to be reunited with their families and their families either returned to the province from which they came or set up in some alternative income generating scheme, these 700 beds would gradually have no-one sleeping in them.
This would be an ideal result for the families but a disaster for CCF. The NGO's reason for existence, its whole marketing strategy, requires that those beds remain filled.
This is, in my view, an inappropriate was to help children from impoverished families because it (a) breaks up families, (b) does nothing to resolve the underlying problems the families confront in their attempts to generate income and (c) makes these families dependent on the goodwill of Scott Neeson.
Just as Cambodia is still healing the wounds inflicted by the Khmer Rouge years, so too will the country spend decades recovering from the culture of dependency inculcated by NGOs such as the the Cambodian Children's Fund.
Phds, books and documentaries will be made in the next decade or two about the damage done by NGOs in fostering this culture of dependency. In the meantime NGOs such as CCF will reap huge financial rewards for the 'good work' they are doing 'capacity building' and other such thought bubble cliches spouted as justification for their presence in the country.
When I first came to Cambodia, 20 yeas ago, people were poor but they had homes and land. There were, at the time, 3000 NGOs in Cambodia to 'help' impoverished Cambodians.
20 years later, after 20 years of intervention, what do these NGOs have to show by way of results? This is not a rhetorical question.
Are the poor less poor than they were 20 years ago? What has happened to their land and homes? How many reports have been written about what needs to be done to help the poor and powerless and how much has actually been done?
Would the poor and powerless be any worse off if multi-million $ NGOs such as CCF simply closed shop and left the country?
I wonder if this is a question that NGOs ever ask themselves?
I wonder if it is a question they even dare to ask themselves.
From the internet:
ReplyDeleteCCF President – Scott Neeson
Management Committee Members – Norman Neeson (Scott Neesons brother), Louise Meek (Norman Neeson’s wife), Ben Meek, Gordon Elliot and Alan Lemon.
CCFA's Management Committee consists of volunteers elected annually to ensure the accountability of funds raised from the Australian public.
CCFA was established in 2009 to give Australians the opportunity to support sustainable development programs aimed at providing Cambodia's most impoverished children and their families with the means to break generational cycles of poverty and abuse and to become productive and contributory members of their communities. CCFA works in partnership with Global Development Group, an Australian Non-Government Organization, to support approved development programs delivered by Cambodian Children's Fund (CCF) in Cambodia in accordance with DFAT criteria.
I wonder if DFAT knows that this supposedly non-profit organization is making huge profits?
There are many contributors that need to be make aware of not only the money, but the long term destruction on children and families, of removing children from their families.
DeleteHere is the link to the Global Development Groups project: http://www.globaldevelopmentgroup.org/au/projects/j668-the-cambodian-childrens-fund-ccf-education-program/
DeleteI wonder how much they contribute to this project though CCF claims to run it. It is clearly a way that more than one organization 'double counts' services that they provide.
Where is the press??
In Scott Neeson's pocket. The press, that is. And in Action Pour les Enfants pocket. Either that or too gutless to take on big powerful rich NGOS
DeleteIt is not a matter of 'taking them on', it is a matter of finding facts and reporting those facts. It is done almost everywhere else in the world. What a shameful brush that these so called 'journalists' paint themselves with.
DeleteThey certainly don't deserve to called 'Editor' (the nameless one) or owner when they don't have the balls to even make a retraction on a story that they 'miss-reported' and ruined a man's life!!
Dear 8.16 pm
DeleteYes, DFAT knows. So does ACFID - Australian Council for International Development.
Neither DFAT nor ACFID cares one way or another. Indeed, the ACFID boards and committees are made up of NGOs who benefit from the system remaining just as it is.
As for the Global Development Group, it is a morally bankrupt NGO that is deeply and knowingly complicit in the illegal removal of children from Cambodian families to fill fake 'orphanages' and 'rescue centres'.
For more information as to the way in which the Global Development Group operates, visit:
http://globaldevelopmentgroup.blogspot.com
Wow! Running an orphanage sounds like a great business opportunity!
ReplyDeleteI think I'll quit my job an register an NGO!
Scott, could you teach me how to groom young girls and boys into my new orphanage?
Taking children from their families isn't something that would be offensive to you then? Ruining families is something you'd be happy to do for a profit?
DeleteOw, well, don't worry about the families. I'll give them $6 of rice per week (after they've paid me the $12.50 rent for the house of course) !
DeleteDear 3.34
DeleteI herd a story once, from a reliable source, about a Khmer businessman who had become bankrupt and, in his desperate need to generate income, opened an 'orphanage'. It was so successful that he opened two more.
This comment was made on a CCF website: “The financial data used in this report is based on an audit of CCF’s US operations. This report does not include information on donor’s who gave via CCF Australia, CCF Hong Kong or CCF UK.” This was a report on Financials for fiscal year 2012.
ReplyDeleteOn page 12 AT bottom from this link: https://www.ccf-australia.org/images/stories/financial/CCF_Annual%20Report_2012_HQ.pdf
This would seem to indicate that there is revenue from multiple sources not covered by the US Tax filing. Does anyone have any information or knowledge on this?
dear mr. ricketson,
ReplyDeleteCambodia Daily's favourite commentator APLE Seila Samleang is quoted and questioned even when Paedophile Cases happen elsewhere in the world...., like this time in Singapore.
Why the Newspaper keeps promoting APLE is beyond my understanding.
https://www.cambodiadaily.com/news/singaporean-bragged-of-sex-with-girl-in-cambodia-77650/
quote:
"Samleang Seila, country director of anti-pedophile NGO Action pour les Enfants (APLE), which deals primarily with cases involving foreign perpetrators, said the group was not involved in the investigation, nor aware of the crime Mr. Chan allegedly committed in Cambodia."
Mr. Seila said, however,
"that Singapore should not have used Cambodia’s reputation as a haven for pedophiles" as a means of incriminating possible child abusers.
Understandibly Seila does not mention the fact that "Cambodia is a heaven for NGOs".
It seems APLE has learned one thing now that it is under fire using it's Business Model tarnishing Cambodia's reputation as a "heaven for paedophiles" . Thierry Darnaudet as well as Samleang Seila are now well aware that this damage to Camboida could be its final stumbling block with the Cambodian Government and the Ministry of Interior in particular.
ReplyDeleteDear Scott
The Cambodian Children’s Fund claims, in its 2013 “Return of Organization Exempt from Income Tax” that it spends $2,000 per child on education each year.
Could you please inform donors and sponsors how many of CCF’s 760 students are integrated into the free-of-charge Cambodian Education system?
Could you also please inform donors and sponsors how many of CCF’s 760 students are being educated at CCF schools?
And:
How many students are there is each class of CCF’s schools?
How much does CCF pay teachers per month?
What subjects do CCF students study?
The Cambodian Children's Fund is registered a non-profit Australian charitable fundraising organization. Do the monies raised in Australia go to form part of the sum totals mentioned in the US 2013 “Return of Organization Exempt from Income Tax”?
The same applies for CCF Hong Kong and CCF UK?
I am copying this to both the Phnom Penh Post and the Cambodia Daily, though neither newspaper seems at all interested in asking you just how and why it costs CCF around $4,000 a year to house and educate one Cambodian child!
I am copying this to LICADHO and ADHOC also – though neither human rights organzation seems to be at all concerned that the Cambodian Children’s Fund, far from being a non-profit NGO, is indeed generating huge profits by removing children from their families and raising them in institutional care – all the while offering little or no assistance to the families of which these children are a part.
Yet again, yesterday, I spoke with the mother of five kids in CCF’s care. She had just arrived home from the dump, exhausted after 10 hours working in the hot sun. Whilst generating $20,000 in sponsor and donor income from this family, CCF’s total contribution to the wellbeing of this mother and her other three children amounts to $250 per year in rice.
The $20,000 figure is not one that I have plucked out of mid-air. It is the figure you have provided the US tax department. Could you please explain why and how it is that you provide this family with just 1.5% of the money your caring for five children from it?
Without an adequate explanation I think it safe to assume that the Cambodian Children’s Fund, far from being a non-profit NGO, is in fact a very profitable business.
best wishes
James Ricketson
Are you saying that in addition to the income reported on the US tax form, that Neeson has additional income from Australia, UK and Hong Kong? This is outrageous! Are any of the PP newspapers part of Ruppert Murdoch's group?
ReplyDeleteJames, I hope you are able to document enough of Neeson's apparent fraudulent reporting on his US tax forms to request an audit by the Internal Revenue Service. His greed and corruption is appalling!
ReplyDeletei seriously doubt that there is fraudulent reporting on the tax documents. The 'other country corporations' are likely set up in a way so that they don't get included in the US reporting. In that case, it is just defrauding his contributors by making them believe the numbers on the US report. That would be a huge violation of public trust.
DeleteIt also may be true that all of the corporations are reported on the US return, though that is clearly not the case on the 2012 filing (see page 12). https://www.ccf-australia.org/images/stories/financial/CCF_Annual%20Report_2012_HQ.pdf
I also seriously doubt that there is anything wrong with the 2013 or any other reporting on the part of CCF to the US Tax department.
DeleteI am curious to know, though, if CCF has also been reporting the same figures in any of the other three charities it runs - in Australia, the UK and Hong Kong.
This is an area in which I have zero expertise. If there is anyone who knows their way around the internet and can find out I'd much appreciate it.
The widespread corruption in Cambodia has been occurring for so long that those involved feel secure in continuing their deplorable activities. As more brave and honest people begin speaking up and questioning and reporting the corruption, it will at some point be stopped. The NGOs, law enforcement and government officials, etc., who are involved will be exposed. The local media, including the Phnom Penh Post and Cambodia Daily, will appear to be at most complicit in the corruption or at least totally incompetent as journalists. Karma is hell, and, as the saying goes, what goes around comes around. These people should not be so smug.
ReplyDeleteLike many a mogul before him Mr Neeson can afford to buy the press he wants. In Cambodia at least. One day a real journalist outside Cambodia will start asking questions, realise that Somaly Mam is a saint by comparison and write an investigative article that will blow him out of the water.
DeleteCan't happen soon enough!!
DeleteThe Post and the Daily are two publicity arms of Scott Neeson Inc
DeleteFor many years before she was publicly exposed, everyone in the Cambodian NGO community knew that she had played fast and loose with the truth but kept it to themselves. The same will apply for Scott Neeson and CCF - until or unless some major publication such as TIME or NEWSWEEK takes an interest. In the meantime the local press will pretend that there are no questions that need to be asked; no investigative journalism required.
DeleteJames, the letter that you wrote a few days ago, to Gina Rinehart, should go out to as many donors of CCF as possible, starting with the largest donors on page 15. https://www.cambodianchildrensfund.org/images/stories/financial/CCF_Annual%20Report_2012_HQ.pdf
ReplyDeleteI have no time just now to track down sponsors and donors but you you, Anonymous 7.35, or anyone else has the time and energy, please do alert donors and provide them with the link to the Gina Rinehart letter
DeleteFor anyone that wishes to send the link, here is a list of those that contributed over $100,000 to CCF in 2013:
DeleteRoland Emmerich
David Ryan
Sumner M. Redstone Charitable Foundation
Steve Tisch
Family Foundation
Velcro, USA Ltd.
CBS Corporation
@ Anonymous 10.04
DeleteThe following ballpark figures should be treated with some caution:
$100,000 would buy a home and land for a 25 homeless and landless families working in the Phnom Penh rubbish dump.
If all of the families of the 700 kids in residential care at CCF were given $4,000 to buy land and a house it would cost CCF $2.8 million.
I am not suggesting that $4,000 is the solution to a poor family's problems (it is more complicated tan that) but merely wanting to point out that there is a lot of CCF money going into keeping kids in residential care and very little into providing long term solutions to the family's problems.
Any response from Heather Graham?
ReplyDeleteNo, but then I did not get a response the last time I wrote to her - mid last year. Her agent wrote to someone else, however, who forwarded me the response. This was my response to Heather's agent:
DeleteDear Heather Graham and Lindsay Galin
I have learned, via a third party, that you do not have any comment to make at all in relation to my letter to you of 13th June. As your publicist Lindsay Galin, writes, Heather:
“Emily - I'm Heather's publicist. Off the record, we are not commenting on this.”
I have to presume that your ‘on the record’ response would be the same, Lindsay – “no comment.”
If neither you has actually looked at or read any of the contents of my blog, you may not be aware that James McCabe, who heads up the Cambodian Children’s Fund’s Child Protection Unit is a convicted criminal – a former policeman who served 2 years of a 4 year jail sentence in Australia.
It may well be that Mc Cabe is the best person for the job, though doubts must surely arise for you, Heather, given that he has no expertise in this area and has, along with Scott, declared that the CPU has a 100% success rate when it comes to securing convictions. This is simply not possible –unless the CPU is doubly or triply as effective as all other such units worldwide. Is this likely?
http://cambodianchildrensfund.blogspot.com/2014/07/ccf-child-protection-units-involvement.html
It is clear from Scott’s non-response to any questions put to him (not just by myself but by most journalists) that he does not believe in the precepts of transparency and accountability. If he is not answering questions from journalists, is he answering questions from you, Heather? Are you even asking questions? Or is it possible that you believe all that you read on the CCF website, all that you read on Scott’s Facebook page and all that he says?
Heather, you are, whether you like it or now, providing your imprimatur of approval to Scott’s money-raising ventures. If all this money is being well spent and if CCF’s programs are effective, if CCF is not, in effect, stealing the children of poor families for publicity and marketing purposes, your support is entirely appropriate and should be applauded. I am merely suggesting, again, that you ask questions of the kind that I have asked and that other journalists have asked before providing your unqualified support.
I am copying this to one of the journalists who has, like myself, found it impossible to get answers from Scott to the sorts of questions that journalists re entitled to ask of NGOs in Cambodia who are raising millions of dollars through tax-deductible donations to ‘rescue’ children.
You may or may not be aware that an ‘orphanage business’ thrives in Cambodia – despite the fact that it is common knowledge that 75% of the ‘orphans’ in these institutions are not orphans at all. You may or may not be aware that all studies carried out worldwide on institutional as opposed to family care point to the fact that it is much cheaper (by a factor of about 5:1) to support poor children in a family and community context than it is in an institution. And all research indicates that it is much healthier for the children to be growing up within their families than within institutions.
best wishes
Minister, why does the Cambodian government allow this exploitation of impoverished Cambodian families to occur? Would it not be more appropriate if NGOs were compelled by the Cambodian government to assist disadvantaged children within the context of their families and communities?
yours sincerely
James Ricketson
Another fucking reptile abusing children.
ReplyDeletehttp://www.phnompenhpost.com/national/australian-53-tried-sexually-abusing-boys
He says "I'm framed - I didn't do anything - just had a shower with them"
I suppose you think he is innocent as well Ricketson you fucking moron.
James, Is Anonymous 11:21 (with quite creative use of the English language) mistaken or have you started believing that everyone charged is innocent. I must be wrong but I think you are advocating for a fair trial for a wrongly accused man.
DeleteGood to have you back, Anonymous 11.21
DeleteNo day of mine of late is complete without being called a 'fucking moron'.
I have no idea whether this guy is innocent or guilty. and nor, it seems, does the court as yet since the hearing continues on 6th March.
If there is evidence that he is guilty he should be in jail. On this, I think, we can agree.
cheers
James
PS Your spelling is improving! Good work.
When there's evidence that the guy is guilty, he should go to jail.
DeleteInteresting is that this is one of the first cases where Mr. Seila Saylies, director of child 'protection' NGO Action pour les Enfants is not asked for comment.
This is one of the first cases where the police, the court and the suspect are actually asked to comment on the case and the victims are quoted literally.
Either the case has been handled entirely by the Cambodian police, as it should be, or The Post slowly starts to understand that they're being used as a propaganda tool by the Child Protection Industry and want to put and end to that.
The Post also seems well aware of the discussion about the $5000 compensation scam, committed by APLE:
"Each of the six boys is demanding between $5,000 and $10,000 in compensation."
Hmm, those amounts sound very familiar, don't they?
Hopefully we learn more about this case after March. 6th. Guilt can only be proven by presenting hard evidence during a fair trial at court. If the guy is proven guilty, he should be punished to the maximum extend of the law.
to be continued . . .
Of course, APLE Team, if the guy is guilty he should go to jail. ANd for a long time.
DeleteIt does seem, from the little I know of the case so far, that he is getting a fair trial - which is his right; which is the right of all accused.
My defence of David Fletcher's right to a fair trial is about much more than David Fletcher. It is about making my own small contribution to the argument that true democracy will only come to Cambodia when there is true rule of law. Human rights groups like LICADHO and ADHOC, in my view, should be taking an interest in all cases before the court in which there is significant evidence that the rule of law is not being applied. This has nothing to do with the matter in hand but with the principles involved.
Well said anonymous 11.21 - I can't wait when Ricketson is made to look like the fool that he is. Its coming soon Ricketson and you are going to have some serious egg on your face re Fletcher. From what I have heard the people you have defamed and pissed off are about to break out in laughter and celebrations. Watch this space!
ReplyDeleteTanks for the update Anonymous 2.03
ReplyDeleteI look forward to the laughter and celebrations and I will, indeed, watch this space.
If those I have 'defamed and pissed off' have evidence that Mr Fletcher raped Yang Dany the appropriate place for this evidence to be tested is in court. This is what I have been advocating all along. Everyone accused of a crime (including the crime of genocide) is entitled to a fair trial. Mr Fletcher has been denied this basic right.
Dear Scott
ReplyDeleteIn the interests of transparency and accountability, some more questions:
If Cambodian Children’s Fund cannot own land, who owns the land on which all the CCF buildings rest?
Who owns (holds the deeds to) all the land that CCF has been buying up in and around Steung Meanchey this past few years?
What happens to money given to CCF by donors specifically to buy land?
Is it true that CCF has taken out a 28 year lease on the property on which your new Black Bamboo restaurant is located?
Is it true that the Cambodian Children’s Fund has spent $300,000 on renovations to turn Black Bamboo into a high end restaurant catering to wealthy tourists. And that CCF paid $100,000 to furnish Black Bamboo?
cheers
James
James, it is not to help children, it is to whoo donors. It is never about the children, it is about the money!!
DeleteWTF! Scott Neeson has gone into the restaurant business!
DeleteUnbelievable! Look at those figures. It just commercializing children and their families!
DeleteAnonymous 3:11
DeleteI disagree with you. I think that Scott genuinely cares about the children. It's just the parents and the family unit he doesn't care about. Scott wants to be the old style patriarch - with a whole slew of kids that owe him their allegiance and who has control over their lives. Parents and families stand in the way of this goal.
If he cared about the children, he would help them 'in the family'. Irreparable harm is done to children growing up in institutional care that will be passed down to the next generation and beyond. Being raised by paid staff is not the panacea that many believe.
DeleteI wonder if the woman who gets $5 a week worth of rice while CCF pulls in $400 a week to look after her children would appreciate this Tripadvisor review of Black Bamboo:
Delete"With 3 different spaces you have a choice also and we chose outside in this balmy weather we have at the moment.
Service was impeccable and the food exceptional.
A delicate egg omelette enveloped the crab and the miso broth was delightful .
My trusting dining partner thoroughly enjoyed his baked atlantic salmon, I would have like it a little rarer but he was happy and the medley of vegetables were cooked just right with flavour and crunch.
Next to desserts and he sampled the creme catalan like, my words not the menu, custard pot topped with a dulce leche crust which tasted like chocolate, it was yummy but the almond described on the menu was missed. I was lucky to receive complimentary yoghurt sorbet with a delicious lemon olive oil drizzle,please put it on the menu so we can order that. And the coffee was superb, possibly one of the best in Phnom Penh so do yourselves a favour and even if you dont have time for a meal grab a coffee and support this great addition to Phnom Penh dining."
A great restaurant to take Heather Graham and other celebrities to when they are in Cambodia. You should invite Ms Graham to sit down to dine with the family that gets $5 worth of rice a week so she can appreciate what a ripoff scam CCF is

DeleteYou are right about institutional care. It is damaging to children. I have seen evidence of it at CCF when two sisters taken into CCF care were separated and placed in different institutions. Some years later, when I ran into the sisters again, one of them had become very withdrawn, uncommunicative and angry with her mother and father for having abandoned her with CCF. The other sister was fine and seemed not to have been adversely affected.
Quite apart from the deleterious effect of institutional living on children the removal of them from their families is not cost effective. It costs between 5 and 9 times as much to keep a child in an institution as it does to support him or her within the family.
I believe Scott Neeson established his organization primarily as an easy way to make a lot of money. I think it was driven more by greed than opportunity to help the poor children. In contrast, David Fletcher used all funds available to help the poor children who were living with their parents. His charity was based on compassion for the children and their parents.
ReplyDeleteI disagree, Anonymous 1.46
DeleteI think that Scott set out to help children and, at the outset, had no real thoughts about (or interest in) the amount of money CCF could make.
The problem, as I see it, is that it is the children Scott wants to help; not the families. And the model Scott has chosen (and which a lot of NGOs choose) requires a constant stream of children to keep the sponsor and donor dollars flowing. Parents and families don't fit well into this model.
And nor, unfortunately, is the helping of entire families likely to attract the kind of feel good donors whose hearts melt when they see photos of cute kids who seem to have no mums and dads but have been 'rescued' by Scott.
Scott likes to present himself as a movie mogul who gave it all up to help poor kids. Now he is a mogul of a different kind - with a growing 'family' of children who are dependent on him and whose lives he controls.
With 700 kids in his education program it stands to reason that there must be a lot who 'graduate' each year. What becomes of them? What has become of their families? This is the true test of how effective CCF is in both the educating of kids and of helping families.
Unfortunately, it is not possible to get answers to this or any other question from Scott. He is not alone. It is a rare NGO in Cambodia that is transparent enough, and committed enough to the precept of accountability, to be honest about the success or otherwise of their programs. For the most part they wished to be judged on their intentions. These are always good - even if the effects are deleterious to those being 'helped'. And, alas, donors are more attracted to 'good intentions' than results.
I have re-written my letter to Heather Graham as an appeal to the Minister for Justice who, unlike other ministers I have written to, responds to correspondence with action:
ReplyDeleteMr Ang Vong Vathana
Minister of Justice

Sangkat Chaktomouk
Daun Penh
Dear Mr Ang Vong Vathana
Are non government organizations working in Cambodia to help poor Cambodians or to help themselves?
Consider one NGO by the name of the Cambodian Children’s Fund run by Australian Scott Neeson.
The CCF describes its ‘mission’ in Cambodia as follows:
“ To break cycles of poverty and abuse and to create positive change in Cambodia through intervention and education for the most impoverished children and their families.”
CCF is a registered charity in the United States. Each year the NGO must file a tax return.
The Cambodian Children’s Fund 2013 “Return of Organization Exempt from Income Tax” is to be found at:
https://www.cambodianchildrensfund.org/images/stories/financial/CCF_990_Form_2013.pdf
In Line 4a the figure of $1,603,309 appears alongside a list of educational programs servicing 760 kids.
Simple mathematics reveals that CCF claims to be spending roughly $2,000 per child per annum for education.
Does this figure seem realistic, Minister, in a country in which the per capita income of most Cambodian families is below $1,500?
In Line 4b the figure of $1,423,298 appears alongside:
“Childcare – CCF provides housing and transportation to over 700 impoverished Cambodian children.”
Simple mathematics reveals that CCF claims to be spending roughly $2,000 per child for housing and transportation per annum. These children sleep in dormitories, often 3 and 4 to a bed.
Given that the cost of transportation within Steung Meanchey would cost very little, it is fair to assume that the bulk of the $2,000 CCF claims to spend per child in institutional care is for ‘housing’.
How and why does it cost more to house and educate one Cambodian child in a CCF institution for one year than it costs for an entire Cambodian family to live for one year?
Given that all the 700 children in institutional care at CCF are going to school, the figures for education and housing can be added together.
Simple mathematics reveals that Scott Neeson is claiming, to the US Tax Office, that CCF is spending roughly $4,000 to house and educate one Cambodian child.
Minister, please consider CCF’s 2013 tax return as it relates to the family CCF locked out of its house for being $12.50 behind in their rent.
Pheng Heng, aged 60, and his wife Pok Poq, aged 52 have 3 of their children in CCF residential care. These three children are also being educated by CCF.
The Cambodian Children’s Fund claims in its 2013 tax return to be spending approximately $2,000 per year to provide housing and transport for each of Pheng Heng and Pok Poq’s three children.
That’s $6,000 per year.
The Cambodian Children’s Fund also claims in its 2013 tax return to be spending roughly $2,000 a year to educate each of Pheng Heng and Pok Poq’s three children.
That’s another $6,000 per year.
According to the figures Scott Neeson has provided to the US Tax Office CCF is spending $12,000 per year caring for Pheng Heng and Pok Poq three children.
This is roughly 10 times as much money as Pheng Heng earns when he can work.
Does it make any sense, Minister, that the Cambodian Children’s Fund, by its own admission, takes in $12,000 per annum from sponsors and donors to care for Pheng Heng and Pok Poq’s three children and locks them and their other children out of their house because they were $12.50 behind in their rent?

ReplyDeleteA few days ago I filmed with a family that has had 8 years of experience with CCF intervention in its life. I will keep the identity of the family secret for the time being as I do not want its members to be subject to the harassment that Pheng Heng and Pok Poq experienced when I made their story public.
There are 8 children in the family. There is no father. The mother works in the Phnom Penh rubbish dump with one of her children, to support herself and two of her other children. Hers and her son’s income combined per year is $1,000.
Five of this mother’s children are in CCF residential care.
If CCF 2013 Tax Return is correct, these five children are being housed, transported and educated by CCF to the tune of $4,000 per year per child.
That's $20,000 a year.
I asked the mother during a filmed interview what assistance CCF gives to her and her other three children? The answer was "Ten kilos of rice a week." Ten kilos of rice costs around $5 or $6.
So, whilst caring for this mother's five children is generating $400 per week in donations and sponsorship, only $5 or $6 is going to the family!
I wanted to be sure that I had heard right; that nothing had been lost in translation, so I asked the question three times. Each time the answer came back, "Ten kilos of rice per week."
Further questioning revealed that if anyone in her family got sick CCF would give the mother $10 or $20.
This mother's five children generate $20,000 of income for CCF (sponsors and donors) per annum and yet CCF gives the mother and her other three children between $250 and $300 of rice per annum!
Simple mathematics reveals that this single mother receives 1.5% of income raised by CCF to care for her five children. 98.5% of money raised through sponsorships and donations goes to the Cambodian Children’s Fund.
This mother lost her home and land when she was unable to meet interest payments from a money lender. She needs $4,000 to buy a new home and land and $1,000 to set up a business to support herself and all of her family.
The Cambodian Children’s Fund could make the entire family self-sufficient with just three months of the income the NGO receives to take care of this mother’s five children.
Minister, why does the Cambodian government allow this exploitation of impoverished Cambodian families to occur? Would it not be more appropriate if NGOs were compelled by the Cambodian government to assist disadvantaged children within the context of their families and communities?
yours sincerely

ReplyDeleteDear Mr. Ricketson,
ReplyDeleteScott Neeson is simply following Sebastien Marot who rented the former
Mansion of the European Commission (for an estimated 2.500 USD/Month at
least) for his Romdeng Restaurant near the notorious Walkabout
Hotel/24hr Bar.
Here the CNN Crews among many others receive their readymade stories on how successfully disadvantaged Khmer Children are trained by the NGO.
Read the Trip Advisor comments and you have identical comments as with
Scott Neeson's Black Bamboo setup.

In Sihanoukville Aple's closest Associate Magie Eno's Mlop Tapang runs
the Sandan Restaurant with an identical Business Program:
http://www.tree-alliance.org/our-restaurants/sandan.asp?mm=or&sm=sd
Magie Eno being the closest associate of APLE in Sihanoukville is not entirely correct.
DeleteM'lop Tapang has a close relationship with Friends Int. and supports their ChildSafe program, which is a good program, because it aims to protect children by preventing abuse, while APLE's first priority is to let the abuse happen in order to make footage of the arrest.
Dear Mr. Ricketson,
ReplyDeleteHeather Graham is only one of many people / celebrities or wannabe's
that the Childprotection Industry uses to attract donors. CNN uses Mira
Sorvino (which it calls Oscar-winning actress and anti-slavery activist
in it's Freedom Project Undercover).
http://thecnnfreedomproject.blogs.cnn.com/category/every-day-in-cambodia/
Unicef's Celebrities are numerous and Sir Roger Moore is just one of
them :
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wzoszkTIOD8
Tom, I do not think celebrities working to heighten awareness of a social problem is a bad thing in itself.
ReplyDeleteIt can be a very good thing - as long as the organisation they are supporting is effective and is working in the best interests of those whom it is trying to help.
If Scott were to transform his 'orphanage' social engineering model into one dedicated to helping disadvantaged children in a family and community context Heather (or any other celebrity) would be worth their weight in gold.
It is the breaking up of families that I object to most and which I think is wrong and should be brought to an end - except under exceptional circumstances.
Have a listen to you Ricketson giving advice on how setup the perfect model for helping children. If its so easy then why don't you do it yourself. I will tell you why - its because it wouldn't get passed the idea stage - you are a class A idiot with zero credibility and no-one would support you. Very easy to criticise others when you aren't doing it yourself.
ReplyDeleteHow about sticking to giving advice on how to write bullshit in blogs - seeing thats your field of expertise.
Actually, Anonymous 8.07, I have had a good deal of experience this past 20 years and I know how difficult it is, in reality, to help materially poor families. Much harder in practice than in theory.
DeleteHowever, I think that breaking up families should be the last resort; not the first.
Let me ask you a question and see if you can answer it sensibly without resorting to calling me a 'fucking moron', 'class A idiot' and other such epithets:
"Do you believe that it is appropriate for CCF to provide only $250 a year in rice support to a family when five children from that family are generating $20,000 a year in sponsorships and donations?"
And what, Anonymous 8.07, do you make of the fact that CCF refuses to allow parents of children in its care to retain copies of the contracts they have entered into? Why not provide them with copies? Why not allow the parents to show the contracts to another NGO (LICADHO, for instance!) and find out whether CCF has a legal right to retain custody of the children when the parents have asked for them to be returned?
DeleteIf CCF does not have a legal right to retain custody, "Law on Suppression of Human Trafficking and Sexual Exploitation" applies:
Article 8:Definition of Unlawful Removal
The act of unlawful removal removal in this act shall mean to:
1) Remove a person from his/her current place of residence to a place under the actor’s or a third persons control by means of force, threat, deception, abuse of power, or enticement, or
2) Without legal authority or any other legal justification to do so to take a minor person under general custody or curatoship or legal custody away from the legal custody of the parents, care taker or guardian.
Article 9: Unlawful removal, inter alia, of Minor
A person who unlawfully removes a minor or a person under general custody or curatorship or legal custody shall be punished with imprisonment for 2 to 5 years.
http://www.scribd.com/doc/7259345/Law-on-Suppression-of-Human-Trafficking-and-Sexual-Exploitation-15022008-English
I'm not an expert, but $250 out of $20.000 . . . Isn't that just only a lousy 1.25% that CCF spends on the families?
DeleteJust imagine what a poor Cambodian family could do for $20.000!
This is very criminal!
Yes, it is 'criminal' - not in the legal sense but in the moral sense. I have got to know this family well and am in the process of trying to come up with the $4,000 needed to get the mother out of the dump in her own home and with her kids back in her care. CCF could do this with just 3 months of what the NGO receives (by its own admission in 2013 tax return) from donors and sponsors. The mother is almost always smiling but there are times when the sadness shines through. To be a parent and to have five of your children in institutional care would be hard emotionally. I haven't been able to bring myself to tell her that CCF is making $400 a week from donations and sponsors to take care of her kids - whilst she gets $5 - $6 a week in rice support.
DeleteThis, to me, is a major form or human rights abuse but it is one condoned by LICADHO, ADHOC and other human rights organisations that know this is going on but turn a blind eye. Shame on them.
I wonder if Neeson's new Black Bamboo restaurant was established with funds from donors to his so-called children's charity.
ReplyDeleteI have no idea where the funds to establish Black Bamboo came from. Nor will Scott Neeson say. And nor will anyone ask him.
DeleteThe figure of $300,000 for renovations comes from within CCF, though not officially. If the figure is correct, CCF could have bought homes and land for upwards of 50 families with that money and given them a fighting chance to attain self-sufficiency. Just as importantly, the children in institutional care with CCF could be reunited with their families.
The downside of such a use of $300,000 (indeed of all money given to CCF) is that without 700 kids in institutional care CCF would have difficulty convincing donors and sponsors to contribute funds.
The 700 kids in care are, in a way, emotional bargaining chips, but only if the illusion can be maintained that these kids do not have mums and dads and families that can take care of them.
By his own admission, most of the kids in residential care have families that they visit regularly. These are not orphans. That the kids do not visit their families regularly is beside the point. Scott acknowledges that they have families. They are just very poor families. And the best they can hope for is $5 - $6 a week in rice support. The worst that these families can expect is to be locked out of the the homes they rent from CCF (paid for with money from donors) if they are $12.50 behind in their rent.
So then the 'collateral damage' is the 700 children and the impoverished families of those 700 that get destroyed? And the children of those 700 children for future generations.
DeleteThere is a good model to look to for the impact of this CCF policy on removed children and their parents. In Australia we refer to it, with some considerable national shame, as the 'Stolen Generation'.
DeleteEnormous emotional and psychological damage was done to both the Aboriginal children removed and to their grieving parents that has, as you suggest, been passed on from one generation to another.
One day, when true democracy comes to Cambodia, some smart young Khmer lawyers will, I suspect, take out a class action suit against NGOs that have knowingly (and often in contravention with Cambodian law) removed children from their families. When this occurs there will be many NGOs dragged before the courts. It may, unfortunately, take some time - just as the investigations into child sex abuse within the Catholic church has taken some time.
This kind of profiting off from taking children from families by Neeson, quoting APLE without questioning it, having its head in the sand must stop by the Phnom Penh media! Their aversion to investigating, lack of critical thinking by the press, and refusal to report facts, should be a crime by the press corps. Corruption in Cambodia is a direct result of the media doing nothing to report the truth.
ReplyDeleteAustralian Aboriginals are in an identical crisis as their counterparts in Canada.
ReplyDeleteCanadian Aboriginal Mr. Snellgrove says: “They [white European settlers] have a very dark history of the way they treated the Aboriginal population. They tortured, they killed them, they murdered them, they raped them. All these stories are part of my story they’re part of my culture.”
“They gave me every opportunity, but the thing is I’m not white. I did not assimilate well into white culture… There were still feelings of loss and abandonment as to why I was with the family I was with,” he said.
Tony Merchant, the head legal counsel at Merchant, claims that children suffered physical, psychological and sexual abuse as a result of the program. He criticized it as a misguided paternalistic attempt at assimilating Aboriginal Canadian children.
So now it's clear why none of the Cambodian NGO like the Cambodian Children Fund wants to give an answer to your questions. The problems arising from the removal of Children from their parents is well known and one only has to look at the situation in the UK, where it happens for different reasons, to see that it's not getting better but worse:
http://www.inquisition21.com
Dear Mr. Ricketson,
ReplyDeleteIt's a sad tale for Cambodia that people like Steve Morrish, Thierry Darnaudet, Scott Neeson, Maggie Eno, Sebastien Marot and Mc Cabe can exploit poor Khmer Children and paint Cambodia in the worst possible way as a heaven for Paedophiles in order to make huge profits or just create for themselves a luxury lifestyle here.
Mind you, none of these people have any background in Social Science or Childcare. These people range from simple backpackers like suicidal Thierry Darnaudet of APLE, Maggie Eno of Mlop Tapang via Holiday Makers like Sebastien Marot who gave up a possible career in the diplomatic service of France, ex Cops that could'nt advance in their home country and wannabee's like Steve Morrish.
The fact that they present some of their work as “good" does not mean that there is not a very very dark side to all of them. 10 Years of Witchhunt and Scapegoating of western men, largely supported by World Vision and their "Handcuff Campaign- one size fits all” which was created by no less than the US Gov. ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) went by unquestioned by the media, Governments and supporting foreign NGOS. To this very day none of the 2400 registered NGO in Cambodia have voiced any criticism or questions !! Why ?
It's easy for these people to repeat their ruse that Cambodia is a corrupt and crime riddled country where child abuse is happening at every street corner. No reference is made that Khmer people are now a lot better off and better aware of what's going on around them and IT"S NOT BECAUSE THE NGOS are here. It's because they have enjoyed a few decades of prosperity that Cambodia is going through.
One might think that with the increased prosperity (which does not reach everyone as we all know) there would be less need for foreign NGOS. To the contrary each year we see an increase of newly registered foreign NGOS. Thierry Darnaudet of APLE calls his NGO a Cambodian NGO. What a joke. Simply because he registered it here does not mean it's not a foreign NGO. Why does he not live here with his staff so they don't have to communicate by email and phone ? He's got every reason not to be here where he pulled off one of the worst programs any NGO can think of.
As for Neeson I believe that he is biting his toenails because he just cannot come up with an answer to the many questions raised about his CCF NGO. The fact that he posts his rants under Anonymous but at the same time complains just how much hard work it is to set up such a multimillion dollar NGO business shows what a character he is. His language is certainly not suitable to run a child protection NGO which locks kids up.
Hello English speaking Media in Cambodia !! Are you still alive ? Are you deaf dumb and blind ? It seems so since you too don't like to comment or answer any of the questions raised here. It seems to me that you prefer to sip your little cocktails at the Foreign Correspondence Club while sitting at the Terrasse and holding your Telelens Camera towards any white male that dares to walk the riverside in Phnom Penh while Khmer Children are playing there.
So the main question is just how long will the Cambodian Government tolerate this INDUSTRY on it's soil. It's time to act or Cambodia will turn into another Africa which is now totally dependent on foreign aid.
Cheers

ReplyDeleteYou are a fuckwit. McCabe, Neeson and Morrish have 50 times more credibility than you would ever have. How about writing about your reputation as a serial pest that most people know you as.
But to give you credit for your bullshit rant I'll ask the question - do you actually know Morrish? Do you know about his career as a police officer? Do you know that he gave up his job and came to Cambodia and started his organisation with his own money? Do you know that he investigated crimes that no other organisation wanted to - rape of children. No you dont know because if you did you wouldn't write cowardly comments on this blog about him.
And before you get all upset, yes I know Morrish very well. He is a top bloke with qualities that you and those other fucking 440 morons will never have.
Do yourself a favour and go and have a chat to him and tell him personally what you think. You would piss your pants as soon as you met him and cower in the corner like the little fucking worm that you are. Stay down in Sihanoukville you incepted cunt!
Dear Anonymous 12.34
DeleteDo you realise that you undermine your own good points here by calling Tom Selig a fuckwit and an 'incepted cunt'? (What is an 'incepted cunt', incidentally?)
And you don't do Steve any favours by making him out to be someone who would make Selig 'piss his pants' and 'cower in a corner'! That is not the Steve I have met.
I have only met Steve a couple of times but have communicated a good deal with him on email. He and I certainly have our disagreements about certain things but my impression of Steve is that he is a man of integrity who is genuinely committed to his job - one of the least pleasant it is possible to imagine. He was, unfortunately, brought down by Peter Hogan and others on Khmer440 who, like yourself, do not engage in discussion but believe that an argument can be won by hurling epithets online anonymously.
I remain curious to know what an 'incepted cunt' is? It sounds like something that might require the attention of a gynaecologist and a course of anti-biotics!
Fuck you Ricketson. Don't sit behind your computer trying to patronise me. Its an auto spell typo. Take a look at your entries all over your blog and I you can see multiple occasions where you have mis-spelt words or used incorrect grammar. You fucking idiot!
DeleteMy point wasn't suggesting that Steve will go around and punch the shite out of Selig. On the contrary, Steve wouldn't waste his breath with the bloke. I was suggesting that people like Selig and the other vipers on Khmer440 who are big and tough behind their computer screens thinking that the person they are attacking can't do anything because they their identity is not known. I was suggesting that Selig wouldn't have the balls to go up to Steve and say the things to his face.
And dont pretend like you are a great mate of Steve's. He told me and a few other guys about how he had met you, thought you were a decent bloke and was prepared to feed you information and help you until you bent him over and had a crack at him on your blog in similar fashion that dead cunt Hogan. A fantastic way to show yur loyalty to Steve Ricketson when you make Fletcher out to be a great bloke and say Steve is a prick.
Is it just me or does a person who smiles at you and then fucks you over have the traits of a snake or a dog,
Keep believing that you are anything better than a snivelling prick Ricketson.
Just like other children's charity, we also helped the CCF and became their sponsor for 5 years. Our relationship with them is tight and strong. It's always our pleasure to be a part of CCF's good intentions for helping children in Cambodia.

My Name is Mrs Stella i am from Chicago, i will advice the world that Instead of getting a loan you contact blank atm agent or customer care through their office email, I got my already programmed blank ATM card to withdraw a maximum of $1,000 daily for 30 days. I am so happy about this because i got mine last week and I have used it to get $20,000.
