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.

The SCAO faculty and children have been busy at work building a brand new classroom before the rainy season begins. With the expansion of SCAO, new classrooms and sleeping quarters are necessary in order to provide sufficient space for everybody to learn and live comfortably. We are so thankful that all these new projects were funded and sponsored by one of our volunteer groups from Canada. Thanks again guys!

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!
SCAO Children in Classroom

SCAO is planning to open a second education center that will offer free English classes in mid 2011. The new center will be located in a beautiful and authentic farming and fishing village just north of Phnom Penh in the Pursat Mountain region only 12 km north of the present SCAO center.

Fourteen year olds Pon and Jey were given care at the SCAO Center early this year. Pon’s father lost a leg to a land mine accident and is unable to care for his son. Jey is an orphan that has nowhere to live. They both come from the remote area of Preah Vihear where school education and social integration are non existent.
SCAO now takes care of Pon
Jey now has a place to live
Happily, both children were immediately integrated into the SCAO family. Within ten days, SCAO arranged for them to go to public school and attend the English classes at the SCAO Center twice daily.
Today, they are beaming with gratitude and it shows in their smiling eyes. They love their new life in their new caring and safe environment. We hope to add more children as our funding permits.
