Australians for Cambodian Education (ACE) is a non-profit, non-government, voluntary organisation whose vision is to "support the right of a child to learn and play". ACE aims to raise resources to support The Happy School Project and create awareness among Australians about the school and life in Phnom Penh, Cambodia.
Some backpackers wandering through Cambodia happen upon a makeshift school run by monks in need of a little help.
As a crisis unfolds, the backpackers respond by establishing the Happy School in Cambodia and Australians for Cambodian Education (ACE).
This is an inspiring story about how ordinary people can become heroes through their willingness to take responsibility for their world, and through their care for others.
