Pour un Sourire d'enfant (PSE) was created in 1993 by Christian and Marie-France Des Pallieres. This Non Governmental Organisation which is also apolitical and non denominational acts largely in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. Its objective is to care for and educate the city's poorest children as well as those living off the local rubbish dump. For A Child's Smile (FCS) is the London-based fund raising arm of PSE.
