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.

June 2015 Updates - 2nd Hope School Anniversary Celebration

Anniversary Celebration Volunteers

It was hardly believable that Hope School has already been operating for 2 years! It seems like it was such a long time since it opened its doors and welcomed the first students. The students all turned up in droves to celebrate the school and give appreciation to the teachers and volunteers!

The volunteers and some students came together early in the morning before the celebration began to prepare the hundreds of loaves of bread meant for the refreshment after the Anniversary Celebration. There was 2 types of sandwiches made - egg or tuna sandwiches. It was so much hard work but so much love given in the preparation of the sandwiches.

Volunteer Mr Vansan is the emcee for the event. The students love his wit and charm! They were so engaged with the ice breakers that he conducted.

After that, the students all had a chance to participate in the 3 station games that the volunteers prepared! Some of the students played Twister, and the others tried their hand at scooping up balls using a wobbly spoon!

The students then each received a goody bag of stationery items that could help them in their journey of learning English. The gifts were full of the well-wishes of volunteers and sponsors who wanted to encourage the students to continue on this journey of learning English. Who can say no to such a thoughtful gift?
