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.

In May 2015, an intense fundraising effort was done to raise the funds needed to purchase a new land site for the permanent location of Hope School. Hope School's current location is rented from a landlord and there were plans by the landlord to sell off the whole piece of land. This became a problem as Hope School would have to cease operations with immediate effect, whenever it happened. Thus, the search for a new permanent site began. 

A piece of land measuring 40 meters (length) by 15 meters (width) was purchased in May 2015 in a neighbouring village at the price of USD$20 000. Although it would have been a better plan to purchase a piece of land of a good size in the same village where the local staffs and volunteers have built many long lasting relationships with the nearby government elementary and high schools, this move turned out to be a blessing in disguise as the new village chief was very supportive and elated to have an English school built to serve the children, youth and families of his village!

Once more, many thanks to the many donors who donated generously for this worthy cause! The donors were:
-Mrs Jessie Yin : $500
-Mrs Jasmine Chong : $100
-Alan Hung : $200
-Anonymous (I) : $1000
-Anonymous (II) : $500
-Jacquelyn : $100
-Charlyn : $500
-Anonymous (III) : $5000

The Singapore volunteers were finally able to visit the permanent site! Even though the land is sparse with wild vegetation and a lot of work was needed before lessons could begin, being there felt like a homecoming and represented a new chapter for Hope School! Here is a video of the new permanent site! 
Let's celebrate together for this new and momentous chapter of Hope School's history!
