Every January we report on our current students:
Ms. R, about whom we had written before finished her degree and was able to secure a $900 project grant from USAID and she has now left our program. Although she still has dreams of graduate school, hopefully her grant project will be able to propel her forward in her chosen field of food science.
Vichet, who last year finally passed his high school qualification exam, continues to work full time loading trucks , while studying English in night classes at Panasastra University in Phnom Penh to gain the necessary proficiency to enter university full time. His sites are set tentatively for fall 2019.
Ms. P, age 23, continues her part time studies in English while working full time as the bookkeeper at our Champey Academy . Opportunities for full time studies are slim as she does not have any family that can help her financially, making it difficult if not impossible for her to consider the idea of a full time course load.
Ms. S, age 20 studies English part time, while working full time at Champey Academy , hoping to gain the needed proficiency to be able to enter university to study to become a professional tour guide.
These remaining young people continue to try to push ahead and achieve their dreams. We are hesitant to take on any new students due to the long standing challenge of securing stable funding to support them in their efforts. Despite this, we can look at the students that we have helped and and the ones we continue to help, knowing that this program, through your support, has made a remarkable difference in the lives of these young people.
We are deeply grateful to you for your generous support.
