Many parents can agree that getting your child to sleep can range from challenging to almost impossible.  The Sleepy Animals were created by a sleep deprived, first time mother and although they don’t fix going-to-bed problems in babies and toddlers, each Sleepy Animal is guaranteed to be a lovely snuggle partner for your child. Point out how sleepy the animal is, talk about how important sleep is and how wonderful it is and hopefully the Sleepy Animals can make bedtime a little bit easier for your family.

Beebee+Bongo is a social enterprise working with marginalized communities in and near Phnom Penh. Their goal is to produce beautiful, high quality and unique hand-made products while providing fair and flexible employment opportunities. Beebee+Bongo has trained more than 120 individuals in basic and advanced knitting or crochet skills. Once trained, all participants have the opportunity to produce products at piece rates. Knitters and crocheters are provided with all materials and receive a fair piece rate for what they produce. Beebee+Bongo regularly visits the communities to collect the products, pay producers and provide support and additional training when necessary. They believe that high quality products can be made at home. This cuts out the need to travel the long distance into the city to find work and allows parents to stay home with their young children. It also means that people can work at their own pace and still earn a liveable income.
