While in South East Asia, Helena met a struggling theatre company in the North West of Cambodia. Learning that the artists had barely survived the Khmer Rouge and were working to revive the indigenous art of Bassac, Cambodia's native opera form, Helena promised her support and formed Save World Art, a 501c3 corporation dedicated to working internationally to preserve indigenous art forms under threat of extinction. Through producing fund-raising events, personal performances, and by working British Equity she continues to support the troupe and to work on gaining public awareness. The Company is now in the process of building their own permanent site which will be a huge economic boost to that section of the country, and will assist in combating disease, land mines and child trafficking which are scourges of the area.
