In early 2007 the idea came from Australian churches to create a way for children in Cambodia to share about themselves with children and adults in Australia. Big Brothers and Sisters of Cambodia was excited about the idea and agreed to take it the next step. Thus, the small project, My Life, My Story began.

The goals of My Life, My Story are:

1. To invite 50 children within the Big Brothers and Sisters of Cambodia (BBSC) program to express their stories through art and writing. We see this as a valuable opportunity for the orphans and children at risk to share their own stories of hope and suffering, thus being active participants within the BBSC program. (As opposed to simply being passive recipients.)

2. To share these stories with both adults and children in Australia so that they have the opportunity to pray for Cambodian children with greater understanding and compassion. We believe that children can be taught to have a global vision and to pray for the poor and the outcast in their own countries as well as overseas.

3. To invite 50 children in Australia to express about their lives though art and writing. We believe that the stories of children in Australia are important. We believe that they can express message of encouragement through words and pictures that will be eagerly received by children in Cambodia.
