At the camp they took drawing classes and found art to be a powerful tool for healing. When they returned home they began offering free drawing classes to street children. Soon they opened a school, eventually offering formal K-12 education and professional arts training in the areas of visual arts (illustration, painting, graphic design, and animation), theater, music, dance, and circus. Today more than 1,200 pupils attend the public school daily and 500 attend the vocational arts training programs. All programs are offered for free.<\/p>\n<p>In 2013, with the aim of financial self-sufficiency, PPSA created Phare Performing Social Enterprise (PPSE) with three missions:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Create meaningful employment opportunities for Cambodian artists<\/li>\n<li>Create financially sustainable social businesses that provide a reliable income streams for Phare Ponleu Selpak<\/li>\n<li>Revitalise the arts sector in Cambodia and promote Cambodian art locally and internationally<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_cta button_url=&#8221;https:\/\/phareps.org\/&#8221; url_new_window=&#8221;on&#8221; button_text=&#8221;LEARN MORE ABOUT PPSA&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; use_background_color=&#8221;off&#8221; text_orientation=&#8221;left&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;0px||0px|&#8221; custom_margin_tablet=&#8221;&#8221; custom_margin_phone=&#8221;&#8221; custom_margin_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;0px||60px|60px&#8221; custom_padding_tablet=&#8221;0px||0px|30px&#8221; custom_padding_phone=&#8221;0px||0px|15px&#8221; custom_padding_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; custom_css_main_element=&#8221;padding:0&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; button_text_size__hover_enabled=&#8221;off&#8221; button_text_size__hover=&#8221;null&#8221; button_one_text_size__hover_enabled=&#8221;off&#8221; button_one_text_size__hover=&#8221;null&#8221; button_two_text_size__hover_enabled=&#8221;off&#8221; button_two_text_size__hover=&#8221;null&#8221; button_text_color__hover_enabled=&#8221;off&#8221; button_text_color__hover=&#8221;null&#8221; button_one_text_color__hover_enabled=&#8221;off&#8221; button_one_text_color__hover=&#8221;null&#8221; button_two_text_color__hover_enabled=&#8221;off&#8221; button_two_text_color__hover=&#8221;null&#8221; button_border_width__hover_enabled=&#8221;off&#8221; button_border_width__hover=&#8221;null&#8221; button_one_border_width__hover_enabled=&#8221;off&#8221; button_one_border_width__hover=&#8221;null&#8221; button_two_border_width__hover_enabled=&#8221;off&#8221; button_two_border_width__hover=&#8221;null&#8221; button_border_color__hover_enabled=&#8221;off&#8221; button_border_color__hover=&#8221;null&#8221; button_one_border_color__hover_enabled=&#8221;off&#8221; button_one_border_color__hover=&#8221;null&#8221; button_two_border_color__hover_enabled=&#8221;off&#8221; button_two_border_color__hover=&#8221;null&#8221; button_border_radius__hover_enabled=&#8221;off&#8221; button_border_radius__hover=&#8221;null&#8221; button_one_border_radius__hover_enabled=&#8221;off&#8221; button_one_border_radius__hover=&#8221;null&#8221; button_two_border_radius__hover_enabled=&#8221;off&#8221; button_two_border_radius__hover=&#8221;null&#8221; button_letter_spacing__hover_enabled=&#8221;off&#8221; button_letter_spacing__hover=&#8221;null&#8221; button_one_letter_spacing__hover_enabled=&#8221;off&#8221; button_one_letter_spacing__hover=&#8221;null&#8221; button_two_letter_spacing__hover_enabled=&#8221;off&#8221; button_two_letter_spacing__hover=&#8221;null&#8221; button_bg_color__hover_enabled=&#8221;off&#8221; button_bg_color__hover=&#8221;null&#8221; button_one_bg_color__hover_enabled=&#8221;off&#8221; button_one_bg_color__hover=&#8221;null&#8221; button_two_bg_color__hover_enabled=&#8221;off&#8221; button_two_bg_color__hover=&#8221;null&#8221;][\/et_pb_cta][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;Investors&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; header_font=&#8221;|||on|||||&#8221; header_font_size=&#8221;68px&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;|0px|0px|60px&#8221; custom_padding_tablet=&#8221;|0px|0px|30px&#8221; custom_padding_phone=&#8221;||0px|&#8221; custom_padding_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h3>Our Social Investors<\/h3>\n<p>PPSE is a social business.

At the camp they took drawing classes and found art to be a powerful tool for healing. When they returned home they began offering free drawing classes to street children. Soon they opened a school, eventually offering formal K-12 education and professional arts training in the areas of visual arts (illustration, painting, graphic design, and animation), theater, music, dance, and circus. Today more than 1,200 pupils attend the public school daily and 500 attend the vocational arts training programs. All programs are offered for free.<\/p>\n<p>In 2013, with the aim of financial self-sufficiency, PPSA created Phare Performing Social Enterprise (PPSE) with three missions:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Create meaningful employment opportunities for Cambodian artists<\/li>\n<li>Create financially sustainable social businesses that provide a reliable income streams for Phare Ponleu Selpak<\/li>\n<li>Revitalise the arts sector in Cambodia and promote Cambodian art locally and internationally<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_cta button_url=&#8221;https:\/\/phareps.org\/&#8221;
