Postcards for Sale - help support a local NGO

This is where you can buy and sell anything you want in Cambodia! There is no 'Craigslist Cambodia,' so this is the next best thing. Most items for sale are in Phnom Penh, but this is a buy and sell section for the whole country. Many expats and tourists have new and used items to sell, so anyone can list them here. CEO has no part in these sales, so buyers and sellers need to get in contact with each other themselves. You're always welcome to list items you're giving away for free, as we encourage the community to give when they can. Amazon and eBay ship select items to Cambodia, but you save time and money when you do things locally.

I think that's a great idea, there are 2-3 among those designs that I'd buy as a wall poster.

I'm not completely disinterested in the postcards as well, but realistically, they'd just end up in a drawer same as my krama lol.

I am Jonny, yes.
The trips are not poverty tourism - though I understand your concerns. We are very protective of the communities in which we work. We focus on hope and transformation rather than stories of pity.
We do need to communicate a bit of the ‘before’ situation though and this is done as sensitively and non-touristy as possible.
I hope you sell some postcard after this interrogation.
Lol, not even one!
Why not make phone covers instead of postcards? Everyone uses them and if they had a nice logo people could get their 'I'm a donor' kudos for months for a one-off price. Just a thought....

Postcards are so 1970's (like me, and I suspect you too)
I think phone covers would be too difficult. There are too many brands/models of phones out there with differing dimensions. Also good cases with MagSafe or good protection are too expensive to make.
We have sold a decent amount elsewhere and have covered costs, anything sold now is profit.

They are being bought and used not so much as postcards but as ‘thank you’ or ‘thinking of you’ cards. A few people also bought them to display.

Also, grandad, my birthdate just about scraped into the 70’s :-)
Ok, it was just a thought.

Oh, I'm a vintage '67, so less of the "grandad" :D

The best postcards i had (still have somewhere) were not photographs, but illustrations of the local Indonesians customs, a good 2/3 of the card is a nice détailed realistic drawing, and the other 1/3 is a text explaining the custom.

There are many great pics everywhere, but the combination of knowledgeable stuff + illustration (drawing, pic, scheme, whatever the best) is a good too scarce option, which led me to buy the whole serie, 20 years ago.
Impossible to find them in shops anymore now ^^

I' ll try to post a pic when i find them in my stuff
