CAMDEN Civic Centre will be filled with the colours of hope next week as the artwork of Cambodia's poorest children goes on sale.
The artwork, painted by underprivileged street children, will be sold to raise money for the Cambodian Children's Painting Project, which helps the poorest children in the village of Sihanoukville.
Project director Felix Brooks-Church said residents of the coastal village lacked regular access to food, clean drinking water and medical care.
``We are trying to change that by providing a supportive and safe place to come and play and express themselves in a positive way. And it's art that is our major focus,'' he said.
Mr Brooks-Church has been travelling around Australia since August holding fund-raising art exhibitions.
Camden Council's Family Day Care coordinator Debbie Tuckey is custodian of the unsold paintings, which will be exhibited at Camden Civic Centre.
They will be available for purchase for one week only from Saturday at 1pm.
