International Children's day

Today the kids are free from school in Cambodia as they celebrate International Children’s day.


Yesterday, the school marked the day by giving gifts to parentless and poor kids and Borin informed me that Sophal got many gifts from all his classmates.

Borin wrote me:

Those presents are mostly notebooks, nice qualities, thick notebooks, pens, rulers, around 10 noodles, and you see an envelope on the photo? It is money. He got around 2.5 USD!

He finished it yesterday, all the money,

I asked him, would you like to keep it with me, this present money, but he seems don't want to keep with me as he is so happy to have it and seemed want to do something, I don't want to force him, just let him do as he liked with this money, then it is finished in one day......

Help for homework to the kids

This month we've got an extraordinary donation from one of our current supporter. Borin and I have decided to use some of the money for homework help for small children. They are slightly under-stimulated and suffers from the lack of parental support and therefore we decided to try to pay a student to teach them and help them with their homework.

The student, Kakada is approx. 21 years old and study English at a university in Phnom Penh. He lives in the temple and will do an hour of homework every evening with them.
