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.

We have a great announcement to share with everyone! As of January 2016, lessons have started in Hope School's permanent site! Yay! 

The staffs have gotten a new fence and banners to announce the presence of Hope School in this new compound. The new fence will help to ensure safety for the students and the teacher. 
And speaking about teachers, we will like to formally introduce teacher Dy, who is now Hope School's newest addition! He is now part-time teacher and was formerly a student of Hope School. He completed his high school education and had a passionate dream of becoming a teacher. For now, he is being trained by Hope School's staffs and mentors to become the next full time teacher, like teacher Thon! 

Teacher Dy is in charge of all the classes taught at Hope School permanent site, while Teacher Thon is still continuing the classes at Hope School. There are plans to slowly bring Teacher Thon and his classes over to the new site in the next few months. At least for now, Teacher Dy is the only teacher at the new site.

Introducing teacher Dy!
Currently there are 3 classes started with students from the new village. The classes timetables are:
- 4:00pm-5:00pm
- 5:00pm-6:00pm
- 6:00pm-7:00pm

More classes will be added from next month onwards. The classes are:
- 8:00am-10:00am
- 2:00pm-4:00pm

All the students in Teacher Dy's classes are from the new village that Hope School permanent site is located in. Say hello to the new faces! 
The class shown above are from the 4-5pm classes. Look at how dedicated and eager they are at learning! Teacher Dy also looked very happy to teach them!
Most of the students travel to Hope School permanent site by cycling. Some who stay nearer to Hope School walk there. 
It gets really dark at night, but classes are still ongoing. Electricity is in place to ensure that the the students are able to read and write at night. 
On top of teaching, Teacher Dy also helps to care for the land. Many different seeds have been planted to ensure that there will be plentiful of fruits for the staffs and students. One of the vision of Hope School is to be a place of learning for generations of children and youth for a better future. And just likes the young plants growing, it is a symbol for the investment of education to the children and youths of Cambodia, for them to grow with the "nutrients" - education and opportunities - to become strong and be a blessing to their country. What a prophetic act and reminder of the plants! 
In a new place, new items need to be added to ensure the running of the school. A new water filter was purchased to ensure that the students have a constant and clean source of water. A water hose for the watering of plants was also purchased. And another important aspect of Hope School is the stone table and chairs. It is a meeting and fellowship point for the students to meet up, catch up and have fun. 
The students and Teacher Dy were also able to enjoy the monthly refreshments! The students had bread and a drink at the end of the lessons. Look at all their happy faces! 
One main feature of Hope School that was gone for a few years is the volleyball court. Volleyball is one of the favourite past times in Cambodia, and finally the students have a safe place to play that after their lessons! 

Congratulations to Hope School for this new chapter and continue the good transforming work in Siem Reap, Cambodia! 
With this good news of lessons starting in Hope School's permanent site, we like to seek donations for laptops that are in good working conditions.

The staffs have shared with us that there is a huge demand for computer literacy and classes in Siem Reap, as such classes are currently only offered in the main town and have a monthly school fee of at least US$80. This is out of reach for most of the students, who are either elementary or high school students. Even though they are working, their income is not enough to ensure that they are able to afford such lessons after paying for their essentials.

In view of this, we hope to start computer literacy lessons soon for the students. Hence, if you have an unused laptop that is still working well, please contact us through the Facebook page. Thank you to all Hope School supporters for your continued support, and for your generosity too!
