10th MEETING BETWEEN GAM ASBL AND ITS SOUTHERN PARTNERS: PROGRESS REPORT ON GAM ASBL’S PROJECTS IN 2026
​On 23 April, GAM asbl held its 10th virtual meeting with its partners in the Global South, bringing together those responsible for GAM asbl’s projects in Africa (Kenya), Asia (Cambodia) and Latin America (Ecuador and Colombia). This meeting served to monitor GAM asbl’s projects, assess their current status and the extent to which they have been implemented. All projects are underway; some, such as the one in Ecuador, have even been completed. Their implementation is proceeding without major difficulties. In June, we will receive the interim project reports, containing information on their progress during the first six months of 2026.

SUBMISSION OF INFORMATION SHEETS FOR CHILDREN PARTICIPATING IN THE SCHOOL SPONSORSHIP CAMPAIGN IN CAMBODIA
Throughout April, information sheets about the beneficiary children have been sent to the families taking part in the school sponsorship campaign for Cambodian children. These sheets include a photo of the child, as well as information about their personality and family situation, and details of their academic progress during the first few months of the 2026 school year. We are currently arranging a video call with the children for the European families taking part in this school sponsorship campaign, to be held whilst the children are at school, so that they can say hello and get to know the people here who are supporting them.
