I wear about 10 hats right now, but that's okay because we're small and mighty. We've been around for 23 years and have made it through COVID and so many downturns. My responsibilities include marketing, operations, and donor engagement. I know most of our donors because they've been with us for a long time, and I've been here doing this for over 10 years. There's really nothing I don't do. I just left a gala meeting because we're getting ready to plan a gala. We're a global organization with a unique footprint. Our founder, Jamie Emilio, started the charity 23 years ago when she was an expat in Singapore, and we've carried the torch through everything, including two different wars in Cambodia this year with Thailand at the border. Our American staff is mostly women, the four of us here in the states, and our Cambodian staff on the ground is about half and half men and women. They run the schools, the food program, and our education center, which is brand new from last year and provides AI learning, graphic design learning, and all the different Microsoft certifications so that the youth can go out into the world and get jobs.
