English Classes have been held with the children since Moses was a lad, and they are currently enjoying the teachers provided by a local Cambodian English School. We had been using the services of expat volunteers over the years, but this did not prove successful as everyone had different levels of teaching skills and different methods of using them. This was confusing for the children, so we decided to go with the teachers we could find locally. It was a good idea and everyone is happy!

The Australian Centre for Education (ACE), the best English school in Cambodia, has kindly given 20 of our children between the ages of 10-13 scholarships. As long as they pass they can continue through to the end of the course which will take some years. Thank you ACE!

Some sponsors are able to contribute the US$600 a year for four terms for a child. While this is not expected from everyone, sometimes it has been possible for this to happen for some lucky children. These lessons which eventuate in making the children speak good English, go a long way to finding them better paying jobs when they are ready to leave.

The Australian Embassy in Phnom Penh has been generous in recent years and has again given 15 of our children sponsorships in the Young Learners Program. Thanks to our friends at the Embassy.
