Life at Save Children in Asia (SCAO) is slowly evolving. The children are enjoying many activities that the center now offers thanks to your generous donations. We now have a computer room a soccer team and official school uniforms. Our new location conveniently located next to the, Khmer Culture Center.
We are still looking for volunteers to participate in the program and reside on campus and assist us with the many tasks that are needed at the center. Please feel free to contact us anytime or you can follow us on Facebook or Twitter for more news on the SCAO
There have been some exciting new developments at SCAO from the arrival of two new girls, trips to the dentist, a new promotional video and an exciting new Volunteer page!
SCAO’s mission is to give all our children the best possible start in life. Their education, overall welfare, health and safety are our primary concerns. We are proud to welcome into our community two beautiful local girls into our care. They will quickly integrate into our daily routines and all the children are very excited to have them. They are already starting classes and will start learning English with our wonderful volunteers.
We just created a Facebook Group so that all volunteers and children that live and work at the day care center can share their thoughts experiences at Save Children in Asia. It seems fitting since most people that travel to the Far East use Facebook to communicate with their friends.
We are very pleased with the great response from the children and SCAO volunteers.
Here are some of the post from the Children of SCAO.

It is amazing how well the children speak and write English. Your continued support makes all of this possible. Please join our Facebook Group and come and visit our SCAO family in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. We look forward to seeing you soon.
Last week was an extra busy and fun filled week at S.C.A.O, with the arrival of pen pal letters from a school in Melbourne called Eltham College.
A few months ago children from S.C.A.O wrote pen pal letters to children at Eltham College. The Australian kids received their letters and were inspired to do some fund raising for their new friends and their school in Cambodia. They came up with the idea of running a cake stall and a free dress day, through which they raised enough money to buy many of the items on a wish list of things for the S.C.A.O kids and their school.
We hope you are all safe, happy and healthy. Here at SCAO everything is going very well and we thought it was time we gave you all an update on the latest news. The kids are going well at school, studying hard and moving up in school and university. Srey Lat is keeping busy at English school and studying business at university and Hom is studying to be a vet at uni, they are both also teaching classes at SCAO. Nita, Chan and Lion are working hard at high school and Ly, Lim, Leap, Sey Ma, Srey Hoy, Pon, Vireak, Srey Lia, Li and Lee Mai are all at the Primary school next door to the centre. Sey Ha and Ra have jobs at a motorbike shop and Din is working as the security guard at 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.
How are you? It has been quite awhile since we last updated you on the new developments at S.C.A.O. As you can see in or latest posted pictures that we have been very busy building the new school.
It always makes us happy when SCAO sends us updates of new improvements or activities going on in the Center. We love sharing these stories with all the supporters and hope they will inspire others to get involved and make a difference!
