Education
The center provides education for both children and adults, running English, Khmer and Computer classes in the day time, and further English and Computers in the evening. Illiteracy is still common in Cambodia and and it can be so restricting, by passing on this knowledge we are ensuring students have the best possible chance at finding good employment in their future.
Recreation
We put a lot on emphasis on alternative leaning, through activities such as art, dance, play, sport and music. Children do not get a chance to express themselves much here but by running these different activities we allow them the freedom to do so, learning many important life lessons such as creativity, team work, confidence and conflict resolution in the process.
Healthcare
There is very little in the way of free healthcare here, so the financial strain of an illness or injury can cripple families.
We provide very basic first aid on site, cover cost of clinic visits and medications and in extreme cases cover cost of travel to Phnom Penh to visit Kantha Bopha hospital (which is free and very good).
Another NGO Mlop Tapang, provide free ear clinics and dentistry for our students.
We also consider it essential to teach our students about the importance of good hygiene, providing showers, with soap, shampoo and lice treatment when needed and toothbrushes for daily cleaning.
Nutritional Support + Community Outreach
Malnutrition is still a big problem in Cambodia, with many children suffering stinted growth and development because of it. To help combat this within our community we carry out monthly food drops of rice, oil, fish and soy, to the poorest families on rotation. We combine this with community outreach, talking to the families in the area to help assess any problems they are having and helping them to find solutions.
