Description: Roger Hodgson co-founded Supertramp in 1969 and was the driving force behind what fans call the 14 golden years of the band. He wrote, sang, and arranged the enduring rock standards that made Supertramp a worldwide phenomenon with album sales in excess of 60 million. Roger not only gave us “Give a Little Bit,” but also other timeless classics such as "Breakfast in America,” “Dreamer," "The Logical Song," "Take the Long Way Home," "It's Raining Again," "Fool's Overture," "School," and many more. "As the international supporter of Swiss Artists for Smiling Gecko, the charity concert that took place September 23, 2015 in Zürich, thank you for caring for the children in Cambodia and for being touched by their life circumstances - just like I was.

Cambodia Since the middle of the past century, Cambodia has experienced decades of civil wars, suffered from direct consequences of the Vietnam War, and has lived through the terror regime of the Khmer Rouge. This is why today it needs to be counted among the poorest countries on this planet. In the capital Phnom Penh alone, 30,000 children live in the streets and are subjected to hunger, diseases, and abuses of all kinds. For providing a secure livelihood to these children and their families, aid is needed directly on site. We entertain close and excellent contacts to local relief agencies and are regularly visiting ourselves. This is why we have, for the time being, decided to primarily concentrate our aid on Cambodia.
