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.

Every bit of support for the children in Siem Reap is deeply appreciated. Special thanks to Allan for generously providing a bag of rice to each of the 320 students of Hope Schools

Classes at Hope Schools

Thanks to the teachers from the various Hope Schools for generously giving their time to support the children in Siem Reap and help them improve their language skills.

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.

2016 November Updates

Another exciting month for Hope School. We had a group of 3 volunteers bringing joy to Hope School. Students were having fun learning English through bingo game, forming words from pictures. There were laughter all around as they learn words through songs too. Thank you Chloe, Samuel and his wife, Mary.

The whole volunteers’ trip ended with the Graduation Ceremony for Hope Schools’ students. It was a great joy to see students staying with us for the whole year and now either progressing to the working world or to the next level. We were also privilege to have a representative from the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports to attend this ceremony and to provide words of encouragement to the students.

We would like to thank the following for sponsoring some of the graduation ceremony request:

Mr Jimmy Yip – for the Graduation badges,
Mrs Jessie Yin – for the towers in the gift packs,
Prescillia Lee – for the goodies in the gift packs.

2016 July Updates

In a twinkling of our eyes, 3 years has gone by and we are celebrating the 3rd anniversary of Hope School!! It was with great joy that Prescillia and I had the privileged to be celebrating with the students of Hope School (unfortunately Allan was not able to join us). We thanked God for giving us this opportunity to be bless with the joy that Hope School had given us.

As we start at a slow pace in rebuilding Hope School at the new premise, we believe that it will eventually be a blessing to the surrounding kids in this new area. Do continue to pray along with us and support us in what we are doing.
Celebrating the 3rd anniversary was simply very down to earth, playing simple games (those that we played in the 60s and 70s, if you are as old as me). Seeing them playing such games brings back memories that I had connect with.

We hope to see Hope School with a new concrete building in a year or 2 so that we could continue to provide an avenue for these youngsters to be better equip for their future lives. Come, visit us to see how the school is operating if you are planning a trip to Siem Reap.
Cheers to all supporters and donors for the past 3 years and may the Lord bless your contributions!!!

June 2015 Updates - 2nd Hope School Anniversary Celebration

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?
