Report from Khmer Cultural Development Institute
Dear Kind Donors,
Although Covid has become very bad in Cambodia and in fact Kampot, where our school is, has the highest number of cases, yet Thankfully everyone at our school is doing well.
We thank you for your wonderful and continuous support, despite the challenges that our world is facing.
Our Blind Students are well and since I last wrote, two have graduated. One student took a place at teaching college and the other student having finished his short-term music course has returned to Phnom Penh.
Our children living in residence are carrying on with all their artistic activities and doing their school work at home, i.e. at our school, because all state schools are shut for the time being.
Cambodia is very badly affected economically by the continued shut-downs and in Kampot, many vulnerable people are on the brink of starvation. We have been given funds by Unicef and by Dak and we are providing food, cooking utensils and helping to pay basic amenities for 75 very impoverished families including nearly one hundred children, some of whom have disabilities and HIV.
Additionally we received funding from the Child Safe Alliance to provide fifty cooked meals and essential items to all homeless people in Kampot every day.
We cannot at the moment teach students from state school at our school, but we so hope that this will be possible soon and we wish upon the world much healing.
Thank you for all your support,
May you all be well!
