Charity Family Fun Night Ideas & Activities

Under the Mango Tree

Meet Happy the Cambodian Duck!

We’re so excited to share the story of Happy, a curious talking duck who lives on a rice farm in Cambodia. When Nite and Lun, a brother and sister, move to the countryside with their parents, they stumble upon an incredible surprise—Happy can talk!

From that moment on, a heartwarming adventure begins—full of laughter, friendship, and discovery. Alongside Nite and Lun, children will explore:

What life is like in rural Cambodia
How rice and ducks work together to help feed whole villages
The beauty of Khmer (Cambodian) traditions, food, and festivals
And how kids, just like Nite and Lun, can share their faith in Jesus in simple, loving ways

It’s more than a story—it’s a journey of friendship, culture, and faith that shows Happy he’s never alone.
