Dear Supporters,
These past three months we have again been fundraising to support our students in Kampong Cham. Our main ongoing project is one of our local education centres where students can receive free Khmer, Maths, and English tuition.
The major challenge facing this centre is its infrastructure. Built as a single-room school, the centre has no permanent walls and relies upon its foundations and supports for a roof. As such, throughout the rainy season (May-November) the school regularly floods and consequently students cannot attend. Further to building flood-proof walls, we would also like to support the school to convert an area of its garden into a second smaller classroom so that the school may provide multiple classes at once, as it currently supports students aged 4-16 years old. Through a second permanent structure, these students would be able to be split based on age so that they may be better supported.
We are currently running a fundraiser to support this project - a Zumba-thon. In Kampong Cham a popular form of daily exercise is Zumba, which takes place on the riverside everyday 5am-6am and 5pm-6:30pm. For one week, we will have representatives present at every Zumba session, attempting to keep up with the locals. With a target of 1000GBP we are hoping to far surpass this goal.
Thank you for your continued support!
With Grattitude,
GVI Cambodia Classrooms
