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.

Everyone at SCAO was so anxious and excited to send us pictures of the new school’s location. All of the SCAO’s faculty and volunteers have been busy building and prepping the site for the past couple of months. The visit to the site was extremely special, because it was the first time many of the children were able to see, explore and roam the grounds of where there brand new school is going to be!

We rarely wander outside the grounds of SCAO, but when we do, it’s always fun and a great way to give the children an opportunity to learn outside of the classroom! A few weeks ago, we made a trip to the local Zoo, and it was a great time, shared by all.

This is a picture of Mr. Albert Datsira with the SCAO children! Sometimes the only thing a child needs is for someone to shower them with attention, love and laughter. Thank you for volunteering your time and love Albert! The Children will never forget you and enjoyed your visit very much.

Your Donations Make A Difference Please visit our blog often for future updates as to our progress in making all the new efforts by SCAO a reality. Your donations are always appreciated, no matter the amount. It takes a village to raise a child in Cambodia, and we plan on helping as many of our beautiful children as possible. 100% of your donations go entirely to benefit our children and to the construction of the new center. Thank you for your generosity.

An amazing volunteer team visited us recently from Singapore — Rochelle Tan, Michelle Chan, Madeleine Koh, Nicole Tay, Ling Tay, Ng Hwee Hwee and Roger. They all made the trip out to SCAO for a couple of days not only donate their time, but also their love. Coined “The Singaporeans,” this group was probably one of the smallest groups we’ve ever had, but that didn’t effect the huge amount of generosity and kindness they spread throughout SCAO.

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!

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.
