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.

he overseas volunteer team from Singapore arrived in Siem Reap, Cambodia and started their first day of teaching there. This was the first time that the Singapore volunteer team planned to teach for a longer period of time - 3 days! As such, the team prepared enough teaching materials for the students for those 3 days. 

The volunteer team of 4 people - Jamie, Audrey, Charlyn and Sofia, were further divided into 2 small sub-groups and each took different classes. As they were taking the same classes throughout the whole 3 days, they were able to build deeper relationships with the students.

Jamie and Audrey prepared some lessons to teach students of some commonly found items in a classroom. The students had a chance to learn the English words and the Khmer corresponding words too. The students all had a fun time learning new words that they could identify in their classrooms!
Charlyn and Sofia prepared a small booklet to teach their students 2 main aspects of English - the 5Ws and 1H and prepositions. Each student in their classes received this small booklet that they would use during the 3 days. Sofia also prepared a small but very meaningful gift for each student. She and her friends had prepared a small specialized message of encouragement for the students on the booklet, so that whenever the students use the booklet, they would be reminded of the encouragement and blessing from Singapore. 
The volunteers also brought with them the bookshelf that was to be the first library in Hope School. Sofia, Rith (a local volunteer) and teacher Thon started to assemble the bookshelf during break time. See them hard at work! 
Jamie's 2 friends donated brand new story books for the library! The students were so excited about those books and immediately started picking them up to read! 
After that, lessons continued after lunch! More students came and were able to learn from the volunteers. They enjoyed the lessons and the activities greatly! 
But lessons in itself were quite monotonous and mundane. So the volunteers spiced things up with the students by incorporating games and activities! 
The lessons continued until the evening. Even though the volunteers were tired from teaching all day, the passion and dedication of the students to come and learn English touched them greatly. Hence, they continued to teach with even more enthusiasm! 
So that was the end of the first day of teaching by the Singapore volunteers! They and the students could not wait to resume lessons the next day!
