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.

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.

Hello friends!
We have some very exciting news to share with you. After several months of hard work, the construction of our new school is finally complete! We are well on our way to giving our students a great education and a wonderful place to learn and grow. We will celebrate this grand accomplishment with an opening party on July 18. At this party we plan to give approximately 130 disadvantaged families living near the school 10kgs of rice, fish sauce, and soy sauce, as a welcoming gesture.

Hello SCAO family! How are all of you doing?
We are happy to inform you that the SCAO football team is now dressed for success with new uniforms! Volunteer Alice McGuckian’s father made a kind donation that helped us make uniforms for the boys, as well as t-shirts to sell (which will help raise money for the center). You can see pictures of the boys practicing in their uniforms for their first games (which they won) by visiting the SCAO Facebook Page. Way to go, boys!
SCAO volunteers are extremely important for our organization and non-profit organizations not just in Cambodia, but around the globe. They work day-in and day-out to give our kids a better future through education and by being outstanding role models. We are extremely thankful for all of their hard work.
Students who want to volunteer abroad, or are specifically looking for volunteer opportunities in Cambodia, especially during their gap year, have a wonderful opportunity to make a difference by coming to Phnom Penh and working with SCAO. For more information on how to be a SCAO volunteer, visit the Volunteers page of our website. If you cannot come to Phnom Penh as a volunteer, we kindly remind you that we accept monetary donations. Every donation is very much appreciated and will be used to provide SCAO children with access to education materials, food, and shelter. Thank you for all of your support! Take care!

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.

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!

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!
