Help keep a Cambodian Music and Dance School open

Tola, a 19-year-old student at SCC, faced a challenging financial situation due to his family's struggles. With over seven family members, their life was not prosperous, with little income from farming, food shortages, and living from hand to mouth. The cost of living was high, and the family had to cover expenses for their children, food, and electricity. Tola decided to study Khmer traditional music at SCC in March 2018, he has been able to perform well and play many songs. He plays at ceremonies and hotels at least two to three times a month, earning 15 US dollars each time. Tola also worked as the music teacher's assistant, teaching Khmer traditional music to other students. He taught them good lessons and habits, such as practicing daily, recording key lessons, studying hard, and practicing with classmates. Tola emphasized the importance of listening to the teacher, sticking to clear goals, and following dreams. Tola is now a student at Chreav High School, with six siblings and one sister in the family. He aspires to become a professional Khmer traditional musician and is currently living in Chreav village, Sangkat Chreav, Siem Reap municipality, Siem Reap province. To make the dreams of other poor young people come true and preserve traditional Khmer music, Tola calls on philanthropists to join SCC in making the dreams of other poor young people come true. SCC hereby calls for the old and new charities to continue to donate to promote poor students to have a chance to learn the music and earn income for their daily food and contribute conservation of Khmer traditional music as well. Your contribution is most important and a hope for poor Cambodian children and youth.
