Rainy Season

With the rainy season here, Old Hope Sschool has been badly flooded again. For students’ safety, all classes are suspended and students are to remain at home until further notice.

A New Learning Centre

We are delighted to celebrate the opening of a new learning centre in Sihanouk village. This centre gives children in the community a safe and welcoming place to learn, develop their skills, and grow in confidence. It will provide new opportunities for education and help children build a brighter future for themselves and their village.

Meals for Sen Chay Government School

“An apple a day keeps the doctor away,” but a nourishing meal each week helps keep hunger away for students at Sen Chay Government School. Through Allan’s generous donation, students at Sen Chay School and two other government schools were able to enjoy a decent and fulfilling meal. For many of these children, this regular meal is an important source of nourishment. The meal may be simple, but its impact is significant. We are deeply grateful to Allan and his generosity is making a meaningful difference in the health and education of children in these communities.

Meals for Hope Schools

Thanks to Allan’s continued donations, nutritious meals can be provided to students at all Hope Schools. Although these meals are simple and not a luxury, they are filling and provide the nourishment children need to stay healthy. Allan’s generosity makes a meaningful difference in the lives of many students and supports their education and well-being.

Activities at Hope Schools

Our teachers are regularly supported through Foo Yong Kwong’s monthly contributions. This generous support helps us support part of our teachers monthly salary. Despite their salary not matching those offered in the education sector, the teachers make many personal sacrifices to educate, encourage, and guide the children in our schools. We express our heartfelt gratitude to Foo Yong Kwong for this faithful support.

Fun At New HS

Teacher Sophea has always been innovative in managing New Hope School. At times, she plans games instead of conducting a regular lesson, making learning enjoyable and encouraging students to look forward to coming to school.

Hope School Graduation 2017

Hope School Graduation Ceremony 2017 was held on 26 Oct. It was a time of happy faces for the students, the highlight event of our visit for the entire trip.

Day 1
We arrived at Siem Reap with my daughter Charlyn at 3pm. We had dinner with the teachers and local staffs in appreciation of their hard work.

Day 2
Today we taught the first lesson for the beginner class on the topic of Family. The students learnt to identify and spell the different family members and pets in their homes.

The second lesson was on feelings and attitude. We conducted a game of crossword puzzle for the students to find the various feelings and attitude.

We had lunch with the teachers/staff. Thereafter we went to reserve donuts for the graduation ceremony and to purchase some packs of London roll buns as an additional item for the gift packs.

During evening time, we started to prepare the gift packs for the graduation. Each student received a file folder containing a pen, a mechanical pencil, a ruler, a 3-in-1 Milo sachet and 2 London rolls buns.

Day 3
We had an impromptu last lesson: a 'jumble words' game. We took some papers and tore them into pieces on the spot. We made 2 sets of words for the 2 teams to compete. The students were enthusiastic and had much fun playing this game.

Day 4- Graduation Day!!!

We picked up the order of 100 donut pieces in the morning and proceed to Hope School to prepare iced Milo for the students. Prescillia, who arrived the night before, was the person-in-charge in preparing the iced Milo with her assistant - Charlyn - helping out.

We were grateful to have an Education officer from Siem Reap to grace the event and give a word of encouragement to the students. Students were then presented with their personalized graduation certificate, a graduation badge and a gift pack. Gift packs were also given to all other students who attended the Graduation Ceremony.
