SCAO invites poor families to the opening of the new school
As many of you may know SCAO, with the help of the SCOOP foundation and other private donations, is building a second school in the countryside near Phnom Penh. The school will give the children of many families access to free English, drama and art classes and provide community education by working with families to improve their living standards. We expect this to have a large, lasting impact on the futures of around 350 children and their families.

Our New School is Almost Complete
Hello friends! We, along with the SCOOP Foundation, have been working diligently to get our children into our wonderful new school. If you haven’t visited our Facebook page recently, we encourage you to go there to see new photos of the progress we have made. The school is 90% complete and we are very thankful for all your help and support! We have 350 children anxiously waiting to attend their first day of school. It’s because of your generosity that their dreams will come true.
Below is a short video from SCOOP showing the construction of the school and our kids. You may have seen the video a few months ago, but we’re showing it to you again so you can see the progress we have made. Visit the SCOOP Foundation website to learn how you can get involved. They are coming here in July and are welcoming volunteers to join them!
Thank you again for your support! We will be in touch with you again soon!

Happy Khmer New Year from SCAO
To everyone in our world wide SCAO family,
Visit our Facebook Community Page to view some more photos of recent times at SCAO. We took a trip to Odong mountain and to the national museum. We also celebrated Chon Long and Britta’s (a volunteer) birthdays with lots of singing and dancing.
View our photo gallery on Facebook
There are also some photos of the new school we are currently building to provide education to even more Cambodian children. We are hoping the school will be finished in about a month and a half depending if we have enough funding.
We want to thank you for all the support you have given us this year and to all the volunteers.
We have had a great year at SCAO, thank you for everything.
Please stay in contact and don’t forget to look at our website and Facebook page to keep up with SCAO.
Happy Khmer New Year from everyone at SCAO!

Computers Arrive at SCAO
We are excited to tell you the children now have access to computers and the Internet. This is a big step for S.C.A.O. and we are confident it will help us in our education efforts. Some of the older students have created Facebook profiles for themselves and are discovering the wonderful world of social media. Connect with Srey Lat on Facebook and say hello to Mr. Samith on his Facebook page while you’re at it!
And as you can see in the photo below, the younger students love their computers too.
Educating our children is of the utmost importance. We are extremely thankful for our volunteers who donate books and work as teachers. Check out our students reading and learning about body parts!
We recently updated the S.C.A.O. donations page to make it easier for you to support these wonderful children. Donations are the lifeblood of S.C.A.O. and we appreciate your generosity. Donations made for the “Bricks for S.C.A.O.” initiative will help us build our new school. A $25 dollar donation will buy 5 bricks. All other donations will go directly to the children and will be used to house, feed, and educate them.
Visit the S.C.A.O. Donations page if you would like to make a donation or go to the S.C.A.O. Volunteer page to learn about volunteer opportunities.
Thank you so much for your support! Come back often to learn about the new and exciting projects we are working on!

Happy New Year to All of Our Friends of S.C.A.O

We would like to thank you as well for the support and help you gave to S.C.A.O.
Our organization is growing and improving day-by-day because of you! We are building a new school at the moment, thanks to a generous donor. We are hoping to finish it by next March, providing we have sufficient funds. And hopefully with the NEW school we can support even more children. There will be 2 classrooms and 6 bedrooms.
We are looking for more volunteers to help finishing the project. So please spread the word. Volunteers and donors are the lifeblood of S.C.A.O. Without the generosity of everyone concerned our amazing progress would not have happened. We have big plans for 2011 and will keep you informed of our progress.
Again, thanking you on behalf of all our children!
Sincerely,
Samith Sith
Director S.C.A.O.

New Supplies, New School and New Opportunities
By Kristin Tomlinson
We were so thrilled this past week when all the supplies arrived at the new school’s building site. We’ve been waiting for many of these supplies for weeks now, and were finally able to purchase the last of them with help from numerous donations. Through the bricks, cement, tools and wood we received, we have faith that the new school will be built and ready for business within the next couple of weeks.
